Help Wanted

I stare into his eyes wondering if he will apply
hoping that this time won't be just another
one of the many I have fired
or rushed into hiring 
you see for some I barely
glance at their resume
I just let them start 
as soon as possible
can you be here Monday?
sometimes my wants 
can make me blind 
you see these guys 
are not a potiental 
employee of the month
they are the ones ready to disappoint
barely meeting any requirements
my desire to fill this position 
has me aching inside 
so I impulsively invite 
even though it doesn't feel right
maybe he will do a better job
he might just surprise me
but no I still have this ad
waiting for the one 
who can finally offer help
for this heart of mines.

Very creative piece. I could feel you emotions within the read. That Help Wanted sign will have to come down soon because you have such fire and passion in your writings. Keep it up and I look forward to reading more of your work. ~Des Juan
