Snug Inside Myself

I tried to be myself
but no one liked my style
so i thought for a day I'd be you
slowly I tried
to put myself in your shoe
but the fit was never quite right
I straightened my hair
borrowed your clothes
tried to force myself
into some semblance of you
cool
poised
popular for a day
but my hair wouldn't form
and the clothes were too tight
i couldn't find myself
within you
my parents
my friends
my idols on tv
I tried to be
who I wasn't meant to be
then oneday I thought
maybe me was enough
perhaps I will fit
snug inside myself
the clothes fit just right
my shoes formed to me
and I realized I'm best
when I'm simply me
