Just Keep On Walking

It's there;
Around the bend,
In the air; around the corner;
Night and day,
This country or yours;
From family to strangers,
It's here;
You can't be naive,
Deny that it can happen;
To the happy and the rude,
It does not discriminate;
Build yourself up,
Impervious to it's effect;
Be a train and don't derail,
No reason to stop and ponder;
Why or how,
Always expect it;
And you'll never be mad,
Never give it a second thought;
For it is a fact of life,
Rejection; if it happens;
Just keep on walking...
