Forbidden Territory

In the place where no one goes
lurks many things that no one knows,
where we are terrified to roam 
in fear of facing ways unknown.

This place is deep within our mind
but one we never dare to find,
if brushed against by accident
we close the path down which we went.

And yet this place controls our souls,
untouchable it bars our goals
and even though we go not there
it is the route to everywhere.

What is this place you dare not go?
What is it that you dare not show?
Why is it that within your mind
there is a place you dare not find?
