'prison of Comfort'

Fade to the back Dreaded memories Ascend to no man’s land Where no one knows you Where no one recognize the past That imprisoned them It is a new year Time to look beyond the faults Of yesteryear No one lives there anymore The blanket of comfort has lost its shine Don’t be fooled by your thoughts and feelings Try something new-fangled Just to change your frame of mind An innovative outcome deserves a diverse approach Don’t be stuck in that space where comfort becomes your prison ‘Cause it is all you’ve ever known Things will remain the same Those memories will remain your prison Be the change - start today ©220120141455

'Be the change'...No truer words were ever spoken...Eternally optomistic, that's my Wilma... And yes, she's MINE okay? I refuse to share her with anyone else...Oh yeah? I'll show YOU big shot! (Slam-bam-oof)
