Rejection
Rejection is like an unwelcome face.
All too familiar, you close the door on it.
Should rejection be ignored or embraced?
It depends on what way you look at it.
Rejection from a lover
The heat of their body touching yours is fading.
Now all but a distant memory.
The taste of their mouth on yours – erasing.
You yearn for the return of this reality.
.
Failure
Will it make you stronger or weaker?
Do you see it as a knock on the esteem?
Is it a chance to become better?
Or do you say farewell to your dreams?
Rejecting yourself
Just as you can have too much of a good thing.
You can have too much of a bad.
If rejection comes round to often?
Understandably – where do you stand?
