Safety's Shade

Adventurous, outgoing; things you're not,

Let opportunities pass you by but, for what?

You chicken out and you know it,

Doesn't it bother you one bit?

Running, hiding, you're afraid

To move from under safety's shade.

You sit at home and wonder why

You walk when everyone else flies.

The Answer's obvious,

It's because:

You run, hide and stay afraid

To move from under safety's shade.

Playing it safe? More like cowardice.

How many times will you do it again? Once? Twice? Thrice?

How about none. Ever thought of that?

No. Never trying for the hills or mountains. The land you stay on is flat.

Running, hiding, you're afraid

To move from under safety's shade.

Fear to try, fear to fail.

Honestly? It's getting stale.

Stop running, stop hiding, stop being afraid,

Just move from under safety's shade!
