Areas Unknown

People often like to stay
Within their comfort zone,
Wary of a crossing
Into areas unknown.

Though the unfamiliar
May be tempting and exotic,
It contains some risks
Uncomfortable for the neurotic.

So we eat and dress and drive
And stick to our routines,
Envious of those who have
Adventure in their genes.

Things familiar make us feel
Secure in all we do;
How lucky are the people
Always up for something new.
