Stepping out of Your Comfort Zone

It’s ok to fail, it’s never ok to not try.

By Nikki LynnPublished 8 years ago • 1 min read

We keep everything locked in a safe haven

Trapped in fear of criticism and discomfort

Cynical thoughts poison our judgment

Stuck in a comfort zone full of irritation

Unfamiliarity gives us anxiety

Quickly filled with overwhelming doubt

No matter what we try we can’t speak out

Our minds scream as we sit there quietly

Our safe zone is no longer comforting

We want to expand and share our ideas

We challenge ourselves to not live with fears

No longer affected by negativity

We become a Phoenix from the ashes

We take the pressure to mold into diamonds

Our souls will finally start shining

It is time for our call to action

Challenge yourself to step out of the zone

Do something you’ve always dreamed

Let it fill your self esteem

Don’t be afraid to fail alone

It all becomes a new milestone
