Safe And Boring
I know you want to stick to the known,
We're creatures of habit, time has shown,
Take a walk on the wildside once in a while
Because safe and boring isn't versatile
What are you scared of, what could go wrong?
A lot! So what! My feelings are strong!
Where has safe and boring got you so far?
Nowhere, right back here! How very bizzare...
Look to your future, not back to those jerks,
Because alas! Safe and boring never works.
Yet time and time again you make that mistake,
But it is only you and your heart that you forsake.
You deserve love, this much is true,
What happens next? That's upto you!
So make your choice, you have the time,
But safe and boring is where I draw the line!
About this poem
An internal monolouge of self help in the mind of someone who sticks to the known, or is it? That is up to the reader to decide.
