Comfort Zone
When so many things seemed broken, I tend to turn my head,
I appreciated the small simple beauty in life, I focused on that instead,
I was never good at confrontation, I was always the peacemaker in my family,
When rage would rear it's ugly head, "I love you" would erase those feelings,
I interrupted fights many times, my nick name was "ma ma" at work,
I saw no sense in meaningless arguements, to me they were absurd,
I took the time to hear people, even if it meant staying after late,
I valued the hearts that opened up, and the ones that needed space,
I took the initiative to go out of my comfort zone, and placed my heart on my sleeve,
Because I realize that life is short, and we never know when we'll leave,
The loss I've had within my life has taught me a great deal,
That the only thing in life that matters is the love we know that's real.
