The Curtain of Company
Location
I’d like to say I have nothing to hide,
That everything I am is revealed on the outside.
The only place I am completely me, inside and out,
Is when I’m in Vietnam, where my family and I run and shout.
I love that they make me adventurous and funny,
That they make me smile and laugh, even though life’s not always sunny.
I love how humble and loving they are,
How they show their love for me, no matter how far.
But when I come back to the States to continue to learn,
The curtain is raised again, stubborn and stern.
I promise myself every year that I’d stay myself, no matter where I am,
But I find the wall doesn’t budge, despite the harder I ram.
It’s not like I am a completely different person when the atmosphere changes,
It’s just that my personality intensity ranges.
I am more passionate and full of life when I am with my family,
As for when I am in America, I don’t show myself as readily.
I don’t know why, it’s still a mystery to me,
I guess it’s not the place, but the company.
