Uncertain·me

 They ask us to have no fear,

and tell us to keep the faith,

but there is this resounding part of me that just wishes to play it safe.

I've no need for the extraordinary, no need to go the  go that extra mile.

The hermit in me emerges and I look for the way to maintain my grace.

For the beast still roams among us and I've no need to meet him head on.

I will to carefully dodge this bullet and wait in the shade of the apple tree.
