It's the universal fear. Not just mine or anyone in particular. "I'm not
real." The late Paul Zweig even called one of his poems "Afraid that I
am not a poet." There was a point when he could not write at all.
It's probably why you write the next one: to prove the last one wasn't
some mistake. Or that it *was* as mistake and you don't want to make it
twice.
