I was like a high school student
Afraid of leaving my comfort zone
Afraid of change and adjustment
Afraid of what awaits, the unknown

But this is reality, this is real life
I chose to work in a corporate world
So I have to deal with it like its my wife
And wait how my life will unfold

I am a grown up now
A professional, dealing with business people
Being stupid is not allowed
And it kinda freaks me somehow

Because I act stupid sometimes
And I am a bit antisocial too
Sorry for the rumblings. i don't know how to end this one, and my mind was so drained right now, so i'll leave it like this. Written date: 11:16pm, Friday, April 29, 2016

No boyfriend since birth
is it a good or bad thing,
at age twenty-two?
Yippy. My new colleagues asked me if I had a bf, i told them i never had one. They were so shocked upon hearing me. Am I missing something?? Haha! Well, not a big deal for me, it's my choice after all. Written date: 7:03pm. Thursday, April 28, 2016

Again, you are trying to fit in
And I always dreaded that feeling
But then, as they say, change is inevitable
I have to accept it like I don't have a choice at all

So yeah, I will definitely try
Not to fit in the mold
But to keep my shape and smile
Just be myself and be bold
Don't just try to fit,
at least create or build a space for yourself. But still, keep the RESPECT and accept the differences. Written date: 9:16pm, Wednesday, April 27, 2016

Pushed the button to 6th floor
With my new dress, new hairstyle
Plus my most winsome smile
Cheerfully, i opened the door

Shocked expressions upon my entrance
Wide eyes, stares of awe
Made me feel like I was in trance
"I know, I look wow"

That moment took quite long
They start to eye me like I don't belong
Then I also start to comprehend
I do not know the faces of these men

Slowly, the smiles turns into a loud burst of laughters
My face, form blazing red to color of ashes
As I realized I was in the wrong room
To save myself, I laughed along with them

With an apology
I tried to exit gracefully
All the confidence I gather for today
Was all at once eaten away
Because I was a fool
For entering a wrong room
I promised myself to write at least 1 prose/poem a day. I didn't break that promise, yet. I wrote worry yesterday but wasn't able to post it. (Busy bee at work). And I guess I wouldn't be able to post my poems until Saturday. Written date : 10:54pm, Tuesday, April 26, 2016.

Worry about things
Gives you something else to do
But leads you nowhere
Yep. I worried too much today. I was officially transferred to a new department. New working environment. Ughhh.
