When we find ourselves at a loss
Not sure what to think
Do we go and look for a boss
Or freeze like a sphinx
Why does it seem so hard
an actually easier to disregard
as though we might end up charred
because we attempted to enlarge
and explore like Picard
Do we notice the perception
we hold of our unanswered questions?
Are we left feeling less than
just because we dare step outside the clan
Groupthink also known as less think
for ourselves
prohibits standing on the brink
of our chance to step into new realms
Do we fear the overwhelm
of others seeing us differently
and impede our chance to excel
by growing consistently
It makes some sense
given the contents
of our evolutionary defense
against not ending up belonging only via correspondence
Searching and discovering
leaves us wondering
if everything
we have been learning
is still relevant
Yet questions
still beckon
and implore us to consider for a second
what might come from looking in a new direction
The heartbeats faster
as our minds seek in matter
on how to factor
how we could live as an adaptor
Maybe it does not have to be one or the other
Still honoring the ideas of our mother
we make room for the curious flutter
that comes from meeting the ideas of another
Somewhere in the mix
there might be some tricks
a chance to step away from the cliques
and begin to depict
what it means to intermix
with others who also investigate this
whatever this is
is
on your ship
