Meant For Me?

Walking down the street,                                                                         Hoping you will meet,                                                                       Someone who is interesting,                                                                   With something you have in common.

Walking slowly past,

You stop, turn, and glance.

 

Inside and out, 

Someone seems to shout.

 

“What will you give for this…”

Sounds like an Auction

Don't want to miss!

 

It’s drawing me inside, just turn!

Must stop, listen, enter, learn.

 

No chair to sit.

I’ll just stand and watch.

 

I step inside, 

No place to hide.

 

“Come on, come on, 

You know it’s great!

 

"All that’s needed 

Is a little paint!"

 

Cannot see what

Others can.

 

I’ve done one of those

It wasn’t what I chose.

 

Far away it looked great.

Up close I saw ‘it ain’t”.

 

Looked so good when first seen.

Thought it was the “perfect dream”.

 

When I took it on, it was fake

Everything said was simply bait.

 

A lure on a long line 

Dangling a great “find”.

 

I took the bait

Didn’t hesitate.

 

Now I see

THIS JOB WAS NOT

Meant For Me.
