Getting Reeled In

I am 1 out of 7 billion fish in the sea

Why did you choose me?

I took your bait

Slowly you pulled me in, tearing me apart

Scratches and bruises came along

Others just watched as I was reeled in

Others warned me

I didn't listen and took your bait

You pulled me in, I tried to get off your hook

But it was stuck on my lip, luckily you didn't hook my heart

You gave up and left me broken and hurt

With your hook on my lip leaving a scar

Over the years you found other fish in the sea

Wishing I had listened, you came back looking for me

But you can no longer find me

For I am hiding

Where your hook can't catch me
