Ouch

What’s painful yet quick to recall? A man wants to fly but must fall Rejection can hurt Being stomped in the dirt Is the unkindest cut of them all

Yes, sometimes the material life gets in the way of being nice for some. Thank you for reading "Shadows" ;}

I very much enjoyed this one. A man's pains are similiar to a woman's pains I should like to think from this.

Laura, sometimes rejection can stick around for a lifetime. I never minded a rejection where someone said in a kind way that the chemistry was not right. But when being treated in a humiliating way by someone I had a crush on, really has bothered me (only my whole life). If this thought occurs to me now, I just think and say to myself that karma will take care of it.

All your poems are very witty ;) Thanks for your nice comment and concern on my silly poem. I just write sad poems, but I'm really fine.
