Hi everyone and welcome to my 32nd Haiku Hope – part of the COPE campaign bundle of creative distractions.

This time I thought I’d write about nervousness, because it’s something I battle with constantly.

We all get that annoying imposter from time to time, but I wish he’d bigger off during the moments that matter and permit me to be confident rather than anxious.

This subject is extra important this week because I have an important virtual meeting and I don’t want to let myself or my family down. I don’t want the people in the meeting to see my inadequacy and I don’t want them to think my ideas aren’t valid.

Here’s the haiku for today…

**********

Nerves

Stop frustrating me!
You’ve stolen my confidence now.
Nervous imposter.

Remember if you need more distractions then there are more jokes on my Hold Humour page, as well as haikus on Haiku Hope, awful poems on Crap Poems and odd language in Weird Words. I also have a page dedicated to stress hacks and other ideas to try if you need a distraction within the COPE campaign section of this website.

On my support page there is a list of contact details for organisations that can help with autism and support parents of autistic kids.

Thanks for visiting.
