The Unknown

It’s all around us, 
So why do we fear it? 
After all the future isn’t set in stone, 
There are too many variables. 
Too many things that we can’t control. 
So why don’t we embrace it? 
Why fear it? 
If we fear it, 
Does that control our lives? 
Life is about taking chances, 
Taking risks, 
Hopping into the unknown. 
So I’m making a decision, 
Right here, 
Right now. 
I will not be scared of the unknown, 
I will embrace it, 
Like an old friend. 
Now my life has begun, 
Unto the next adventure, 
The next challenge, 
Onto the start of my life. 
You should choose the same, 
If not routines are fine, 
But I encourage you to try,
Come out of your comfort zone.
