I’m sorry that I’m bad at being cool
I was never that, not even in school
Being human, I’m not too good at it
A little too off, not quite pragmatic
I checked my whole body, no zipper yet
Know it seems off, but I often think about that
See, I’m this light, as bright as a star,
And kind as only an angel can be-
But, my smile’s deceiving,
And I never stopped feeling
Like somehow, the problem is me.
I lie awake again,
voices tell me I’m too deep
It is almost 5 am again,
and I still haven’t been to sleep
Resigned to my fate,
a battle I will probably never win
Cause I’m just really fucking awful,
At being a human.
