Comfortable


I am not comfortable with who I am,
And I am no closer to accepting it. 

Just because I smile doesn’t mean I’m okay,
Maybe I’m just good at keeping secrets. 

You see this is why I am not comfortable,
I lie and lie and lie. 

I am not comfortable with who I am,
And I am no closer to accepting it.

I tried to save me but I failed,
And just like everyone else I left me.

Now I am nothing,
And maybe this nothing is my comfortable.
