Xenophobia

Life runs in a furrow the known makes for you narrow knowledge is a sense of security journey you waver to take beyond familiarity there the fear lies. Challenges build tough barrier you try but can't cross over you may aim to change the track to win the venture you don’t risk for it's unseen there the fear lies. Some known roads will disappear for sure you can no longer travel secure in the unknown outside your domain things unsensed out of sight they remain there the fear lies. If you build a new road and be proud it would soon be full of crowd strangers would come and stay on an act of intrusion you would reckon there the fear lies. The mind coded to own the own receives signals unsafe and unknown in the clutch of undefined terror it closes you're scared by the unknown otherness there the fear lies. August 29, 2017.
