Here There Be Dragons

Here there be dragons.
The world ends.
You could sail right over the edge.

That is new territory.
It is the alpha.
Unfamiliar earth under your feet.

Fire-breathing dragons inhabit these waters.
Fear, helplessness, loneliness, ridicule.

Who has the courage to face the unknown?
Perhaps not the strong man.

Fall off the map.
What faces you on the other side,
Would find you the same on this one.
