Draw me out

There are people who put the time in.
They pay in minutes, hours, days, years.
They pay to draw you out from where you hide.

Pay. Not invest.

Buying your time.
A commodity.
A trophy.
To satisfy their curiosity.
To test their prowess.

And when they lift the veil
to find a regular Jane
the challenge is done.
The success is resounding
in your heart and theirs.

Off they run.
