'Are You Afraid? ' Poem by ANJANDEV ROY

'Are you afraid? '
The question knocks the young traveller
Again and again,
He tries hard to get rid of it,
But in vain,
The question teases him repeatedly,
All of a sudden the traveller screams in extreme agony,
'I am not at all afraid,
I am always brave.'
Then he sees his own reflection
In his beloved mirror,
This time the young pilgrim becomes startled.....
Absolutely startled,
He stands in utter disbelief.
