Play It Safe? Nah, Let’s Live!

Hell If I Do, Hell If I Don’t

By KomalPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Life has ups and downs

And in-betweens

But it is the ebbs and flows that make it serene

Sure, the comfort zone is safe

But it may keep you dreaming by the fireplace

Having the courage to try the new

Offers a broader point of view

From there abundance, you can pursue

So, let go of the old

Forget what you have been told

Get ready for the future, you behold

Joy and magic are your true nature

Nothing can make you feel safer

Sometimes, making a decision is daunting. But here’s the thing. We can stay in our comfort zone and continue doing what we have always done, or we can put on the cloak of courage and try something new.

Yes, it may be scary, and yes, we may fail, but we never know unless we try. So, let’s go.

About the Creator

Komal

I write poems and stories that hit the feels.

When I’m not lost in my own plots, I’m either daydreaming about the next big idea or just winging life with a grin.

    I sure am with you!✨ I know, that sometimes it's hard to let go of your old, safe surroundings, but going out of your comfort zone is often worth the risk! Trying new things or going to new places can be scary at first, but it is usually worth it.🌿 Beautiful poem Komal!😊💕

  • I'd rather just stay in my comfort zone 😅😅 Loved your poem!

    Dude, compromising on "Comfort-zone" is so damn hard! It feels so difficult and cruel. But staying in this peaceful zone burns the adventure and fun of life; Fun of pain, fun of dive... Let's give it our all and say no to our 'comfort' yet killing zone. Loved your poem 💕✨ That doodle is something like my 'real drawing' 💀🤧

    Beautiful. Let's step out of that comfort zone, Komal!
