Safe, But Stuck

I was once sad and miserable, Stuck behind the same four walls. Home felt safe — Too safe — Because I didn't want to leave. The world outside felt big and loud, And fear would always pull me down. So I stayed where I knew best, Hiding in my little nest. The walls were kind, they held me tight, But they blocked the morning light. I watched the days just pass me by, Afraid to live, afraid to try. But slowly, something changed in me — A quiet voice that longed to see. And step by step, I faced my fear, And found the world was bright and clear. I’m still afraid, but now I know — The safest place is where I grow.
