The Comfort Zone

I used to have a Comfort Zone  

Where I knew I couldn’t fail.

The same four walls of busy work

Were really more like a jail.  

I longed so much to do the things

I’d never done before

But I stayed inside my Comfort Zone,

And paced the same old floor.  

I said it didn’t matter,  

That I wasn’t doing much.

I said I didn’t care for things

Like diamonds, furs and such.  

I claimed to be so busy

With the things inside my zone,

But deep inside I longed for

Something special of my own.  

I couldn’t let my life go by,  

Just watching others win.  

I held my breath and stepped outside  

To let the change begin.  

I took a step and with new strength  

I’d never felt before,  

I kissed my Comfort Zone “goodbye”  

And closed and locked the door.  

If you are in a Comfort Zone,  

Afraid to venture out,  

Remember that all winners were  

At one time filled with doubt.  

A step or two and words of praise,  

Can make your dreams come true.  

Greet your future with a smile;  

Success is there for you!
