Poem to inspire

My comfort Zone

I used to have a comfort zone where I knew I wouldn’t fail

The same four walls and busy work were really more like jail

I longed so much to do the things I’d never done before,

But 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 commission cheques and such

I claimed to be so busy with the things inside the 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; I stepped outside and 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’re 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
Reach for your future with a smile; success is there for you.
