REJECTION

Rejection.

What an awful way to say

“You’re meaningless to me!”

That you don’t matter to me!

Rejection,

What a poetic word.

How melodic is your pronunciation,

Yet pain and suffering lie in you

Melodic word!

In dire straits,

I sought for you friend.

 But you denied me.

You looked down on me.

In a way that says

“How can I relate to a filthy

Person like you? ”

That my fried,

Hurt like hell.

While recalling how good I had been

Towards you!

Tons of messages I sent you,

So many times.

Yet I haven’t got your response.

Rejection,

Because of you,

My confidence is gone.

Each time I was denied,

Each day I got mocked,

Time and again,

Feeling all alone.

My self-esteem was slowly

Fading away!

Leaving me helpless.

Feeling like the whole world

Has turned against me.

That’s how you make me feel rejection.

Family had I called you to be,

Friend had I imagined you to be,

A colleague had I thought you to be.

Not knowing you would

Turn your back on me.

In time of need,

You became a hater,

A rejecter!

‘Crazy’ I would have called,

Anyone saying you’d be a hater.

But I know better now.

That a world is full of haters.

That success  changes people;

They become haters and rejecters.

For rejection rules a heart

Of a hypocrite.

How sore my heart aches.

For you rejected me.

For you showed me

Your true colors;

Rejection runs in your veins.

That you are not worthy to be trusted.

That power of success and money

Turned you into a rejecter.

Oh my friend,

Stay with your rejection!

For my life journey is still long

Ahead of me.

For you denied me and rejected me.

Rejection!
