It is good to know that you have realised so many things about facing your fears, sharing your words, and becoming more open, even if you are terrified and may deal with things like imposter syndrome and perfectionist "jerkbrain".
(I personally enjoy reading your poetry, and think there are many ways to be a "proper" poet. I write poetry myself, though I have not done it in a while, because I worry that it is not good enough, and I hesitate to share incomplete things, or things that I think sound horrible, because of similar worries. Posts like this remind me that it is all right to be imperfect, even in public.)
