Edward Ibeh Poet Etheree

Notes About The Poem

Rejection

the
sting of 
rejection, 
especially 
in the name of love; 
the sound of a firm "no!" 
feels like the end of the world, 
but like the famous adage goes... 
"what doesn't kill you makes you stronger". 
never mind how much it hurts, try again!

Sotto Poet November 20, 2021 at 10:44 PM Those are wise statements, to say the least. Trying to convince small teenagers that they should overcome adversity can be challenging. I presume this is just part of the learning process. Blessings dear Edward. Edward Ibeh November 21, 2021 at 5:52 AM Thank you for the visit and feedback, Lasaad:-) It's always a delight to hear from you, my friend.

David Mchattie November 20, 2021 at 2:47 PM Wise words indeed. It's difficult to tell young people that they will survive rejection. Part of a parent's job I guess.. Have a great day my friend. Edward Ibeh November 20, 2021 at 3:41 PM Thank you very much, David:-)
