Poem

Life slithers satisfied in the self-made furrow,
I incise in the known terrain for tomorrow.
The journey I waver to take beyond the familiarity,
for the company of kinship is a kind of security. 

The challenges of the unknown build impediment,
I strive boldly, but can't cross even being confident.
I may try to change the course of life to win, 
but the endeavor I don’t risk to deal with the unseen.

The known roads may veer to uncertainty for sure,
no longer I can travel complacent and secure.
In the unknown territory outside my own domain,
the fear of the indefinite within me will remain. 

When I build my own pathway and feel proud,
it will soon be full of nameless crowd.
Strangers will scramble to stay on, 
an act of intrusion in private realm I will reckon.

For my mind conditioned to identify what I know, 
unsafe and unreliable signals the aliens will show.
In the clutch of xenophobia it will close in distress, 
for I am scared of the unfamiliar otherness.
