I. Adjustment Disorder
How is being well-adjusted not just settling at best
And lacking empathy at worst
Like those people who suddenly think
We all live in a simulated universe
Having just now noticed all the wrong things
Calibrate your maladjustment
Just so
II. Imposter Syndrome
Their hair shakes over their faces like rain
Eyes covered they confess to all who listen
They secretly think they don’t belong
And are maybe just fooling everyone
But it’s not a secret because you literally told everyone
And everyone agrees they feel the same except for me
So it seems you actually do belong
And no one is fooling anyone
See Adjustment Disorder
III. Toxic Masculinity
Some fellow academics said that for me to use this term
Even in quotes was tantamount to a hate crime
Against men but who said anything about men
Too much anything is toxic even air water and sleep
Then they asked if there was toxic femininity
So clever these academic fellows
And I explained that it’s the same thing
Each extreme alchemically transforms into its opposite
Enantiodromia
And reminded them that no one said anything about women
But speaking of women
Please see Imposter Syndrome for additional insight
