“Comfortable” by Kirsten Ponticelli
I am told I should strive for change,
For what is new and unknown,
But it’s hard to change, it’s hard to say goodbye to familiarity.
A lot of people don’t like change:
I still read the same books, I still listen to the same music;
How do I outrun who I am?
How do I leave what never asks me to go?
No matter how many trials I put myself through, I can never flee my own skin.
Freedom will never be tasted by the tongue that is so in love with the bite.
