OR MAYBE BECAUSE I AM

OR MAYBE BECAUSE I AM
As we grow older
One's personality is becoming more defined
I am happy to have realized
I have figured out what is mine
Yet lonely to recognize
That it contradicts the current setting of my life

Maybe because I am not a wallflower
Also not an earning bystander
Most especially not a social-status seeker
For I play hard but work harder
Talk with essence and chat a little
Perspire for a day and receive my pay

Or maybe because I am a just agent
I would not just take my work seat
Then spend my time for my sole interest
And receive payment for an invisible effort
For my conscience is unease with the presence of guilt
And I truly abhor the concept of unjust enrichment

Or maybe because I am a perennial student
That I seize every chance and extract a lesson from it
For I believe that college diploma is not a finish line
But the beginning of a journey to eternal wisdom
And no amount of money can compensate
The value of experiential learning

Or maybe because I am a confident gal
God has given me the talent
And I am much honored to share it with right people
Not to boast but to contribute
So it saddens me every time I lose the means
For it feels like I am trapped behind bars

Or maybe because I am humane
Instead of placing at the pedestal the "me-myself-and-I"
It always becomes considering the national security
Due to my wanton attitude to build a bridge rather than a fence
I have forsaken my own goals in life
It could have been a breakthrough from a breakaway
