Influencer Imposter

I posted the plate from a takeout box

Called it "home-cooked" like I'd earned those shots

Borrowed a ring light from my roommate's room

Smiled so hard, my jaw got sore by noon

I said "just woke up" in a crisp white tee

Hair still wet from the shower? Please

There's a borrowed backdrop hanging off my wall

And a little red lie in every scroll

I learned the pose, I learned the angle

Learned how to look like I had it handled

My thumb on delete when the night got loud

I built a brand out of making it sound

Posting like I got it

Fake it till I'm solid

I don't want the costume

I want the wanted

Influencer imposter

I'm almost honest

I tagged a hotel when I stayed upstairs

Used my friend's couch like a five-star chair

I sold "a day in my life" on a borrowed block

Then panicked when the comments started talking back

My bank app blinked like a bad face card

I was rich in captions, broke in hard

But every tiny win felt like a door

So I kept on smiling for the swipe-up floor

I learned the pose, I learned the angle

Learned how to look like I had it handled

My thumb on delete when the night got loud

I built a brand out of making it sound

Fake it till I'm solid

I don't want the costume

I want the wanted

Influencer imposter

I'm almost honest

Maybe I'm not a fraud, just hungry

Maybe the mask was a map for me

Started with a lie, now it's my name

Started with a pose, now I want a flame

I hate what I hid, but I can't deny

Some of my truth got trained to lie

If I drop the act and still stand tall

Would you still tap in at all?
