Life is a classroom; full of seekers.
Some are mediocre. Some are over achievers.
Most strive to learn and attain wisdom.
You discipline yourself to do your best. This is your creed.
Nearing your apex, plight comes when you least expect.
Money flaunts its effects. Isolating you from what you need.
With writhing maneuverings decidedly, you choose.
Your resolve is formidable!
Hoping not to become so besieged,
You lose sight of what you dream of.
For dreams may or may not be realized.
