An Ode To Rejection

Rejection, Rejection, 
Oh, how that I loathe thee 
It seems to me that you are 
NOT my cup of tea. 

I have tried to fit in 
And to get in on the action, 
But you just keep coming in; 
giving me a bad reaction. 

I have applied myself 
To many aspects of life, 
You came in, ruined it, 
And you’ve given me the strife. 

From jobs, internships, applications, and auditions 
for a chance to act in the theatrical productions, 
to contests, competitions, sports games and tryouts 
Thanks to you, I’m feeling left out. 

I’ve lost the hope, I’ve lost the faith 
In any aspect that I put myself into, 
You, Rejection, are the cause of all of this 
You’ve made me feel sad and blue. 

I feel like I’m a loser 
And I’ve given up the fight 
You’ve kept me in the darkness 
I can’t seem to see the light! 

I have big dreams and goals 
Wanting to be an entertainer; 
You just set my dreams and goals aside. 
That’s a no-brainer. 

I’m depressed and lonely 
And it’s all thanks to you! 
Rejection, you’ve just made 
My nightmares come true! 

This is not what my purpose 
In life’s supposed to be, 
Rejection, please go away! 
Please let me be! 

I would hide all of my true feelings 
From my relatives, colleagues, and friends, 
Please stop this, Rejection! 
I want it to end! 

Rejection, Rejection, 
I really hate you! 
We’re breaking up and 
going our separate ways. 
I’m through with you!
