Unafraid of Unpredictability

Unpredictability makes me nervous and uncomfortable

When things are uncertain I am unable

To wait, watch, relax, go with the flow

That everything is under control, I want to know..

*

Over the last few years, far from predictable life has been

I should have learnt to deal with roadblocks previously unseen

Instead I am more risk-averse, I have no intention

Of moving towards an unknown direction

A boring, stable life is what I now crave

Where everything in a predictable fashion behaves

*

Viruses, weather, economy-all display

Varying levels of unpredictability these days

Whether I like it or not, I have to embrace

Uncertainty in life, in order to face

Adverse circumstances as they appear

I need to overcome my limiting fears..

*

From my past ventures let me derive inspiration

Uncertainty was at the front and center of immigration

And yet I navigated the unpredictable process

With hope and courage, to achieve success

*

In the face of uncertainty let me stand

Unfazed, undeterred, able to withstand

Any challenge that comes my way

The future was not meant to be predictable anyway
