The Problem With Being Comfortable

I have lived

A comfortable life.

I have taken a path

Of safety.

I have been comfortable

With unfinished business.

I have turned a blind eye

To other people's pain.

But I've been uneasy

With doing that which is easy.

And I find,

The problem with being

Comfortable

Is it leads to feeling...

Numb.
