Comfort Zone

I never went to Rome,

Never ate a baguette

On a street corner, far from home.

I never watched the sunrise

With my feet in the sand,

I never raised my head to rainy skies.

I sat alone inside, paid my bills

And ate Ramen and canned peas

While my friends all headed to the hills.

There wasn't enough time,

There wasn't enough money,

I never spent a dime

More than I ever needed to.

Now it's almost over,

My hair is gray, I have one pair of shoes.

I saved it all, I stayed at home,

Where it was comfortable-

And I missed out on Rome.
