Not For Me

It’s easy keeping things the same;
There’s comfort in the knowing
Exactly what you should expect
When coming or when going.

Yet many choose to shake things up
And find a joy in changing
By purchasing some brand-new stuff
Or simply rearranging.

While I admire those who have
The gumption for the shake-up,
To switch things out is not for me;
It isn’t in my make-up.

Sometimes change is what's needed but then again the old saying comes to mind " if it ain't broke dont fix it" .
