Comfort Zone

I see my cage as freedom

Keeping me safe as I dream possibilities

Controlling my environment enough so I feel spontaneous through careful plans

Not venturing too far into the unknown

I keep you far enough to understand my limits

But close enough to give the chance to explore

Cause my box is not big enough to accommodate more

Just as I like

I wonder about the ones who soar above the clouds

Not with envy but with awe

At their resilience and strength

To be burned by the sun but will grace and beauty

But I feel as if my cage is judged by the free 

As my cage restricts me somehow.

Don't they know that I can soar within my cage

With the added protection that it gives

My cage is not captivity but my comfort

My refuge when things become hard

To venture too far may confuse my mind

and I fear that is not within my comfort zone
