her head is in a spin
she's not sure who she am
her fingers leave no prints
her life's work is a sham

  1. I hope this isn't autobiographical. Because I don't think you, or anyone, could or should consider their life's work a "sham." How could you go through life Bernie Madoffing yourself? Not all self-doubting thoughts deserve credence, most of them can be shrugged off.

    Are we playing Jeopardy? If you changed the "her" and "she" to "his" and "he," then the question would be:

    Who is Shady Del Knight.
