My HTML form doesn't show the button

My button doesn't show up. Where did I go wrong in my syntax? It looks exactly the same as the instructor's.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>HTML Forms</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <form action="index.html" method="post">
      <input type="text" id="name" name="user_name">

      <textarea id="comment" id="comment" name="user_comment">

        <button>Submit Comment</button>

     </form>

  </body>
</html>

You're close! You need to close the textarea tag:

      <textarea id="comment" id="comment" name="user_comment"></textarea>
