The Unknown is a scary place

Who knows what scary things I’ll face? 

"Un-" means not and known means to be aware 

Unknown is to not be aware. 

I like to be aware.

The unknown is not a place I want to be

I like knowing where I am

I like knowing what I am doing 

I like knowing. 

The unknown means you don’t know

You won’t know

You don’t know

But what if…

The unknown is a wonderful place

Who knows what fun adventures I’ll face? 

The unknown is a place I want to be

I like knowing where I am

I like knowing what I am doing 

I like knowing 

But what if knowing isn’t what’s best? 

What if knowing is a form of control? 

What if I need to just let go and step out into 

The unknown.
