I like to walk
in the frigid air.
I don’t like to linger
in the frigid air.
The best part
of any adventure
is returning home
to utter security.
I like to hang
upside down.
I don’t like to stay
hanging upside down.
If one never ventures
outside their comfort zone,
then they will never
know their abilities.
If one never ventures
inside their comfort zone,
then they will never
feel truly safe.
I like to sit
on pointed rocks.
I don’t like to stay
on pointed rocks.
Oh, to go on a journey
and find myself
along the way,
then get to bring myself
home.
I like to stand
on a cliff’s edge.
I don’t like to remain
on a cliff’s edge.
