Equanimous

The fear of the unknown
That creeps up your spine
It steals your smile
And etiolates you
The fear of the unknown
That eats you alive
It steals your dreams
And makes you futile
The fear of the unknown
Is a menace
Which wrings out
Silently the life
And that is why
They say
Fear not – for whatever
the future holds
Would be for the best
Take it day by day
Don’t let the fear
Engulf you in its wake.
