First impressions are really important 

Always being at the very forefront 

Of all that we ever think about

envision, imagine, or sometimes doubt

Will they actually be impressed with me?

or am I obsessed with the fears of failing 

Like a boat in the breeze I’m sailing

But water leaks in and I’m bailing

to stay afloat as I need to survive

make an impression and show I’m alive

Like selling my wares in the street

To show them I’m so cool and neat

Is the impression you have of me

one of a person you’d like to be?

Or is it one of doom and gloom

Like entering into a darkened room?

I hope the former is what you see

And so on this I hope we both agree

The impression I get is that nobody’s            

    impressed with anyone other than

        those they are impressed with...

                themselves
