Thoughts on Life Like a fisherman,
You reeled me in with your lure,
But when I didn't meet your standards,
You threw me back into the ocean.
Like a sports captain,
You picked me to be on your team,
But when I didn't apply myself,
You left me on the sidelines.
Like a garbage collector,
You sorted through my contents,
But when I was nothing of substance,
You threw me out with the trash.
Like a musician,
You played me like an instrument,
But when I was not pleasing to your ears,
You left me in the attic to collect dust.
Like a journalist,
You gathered information on me,
But when I was no longer interesting,
You discarded me like yesterday's news.
