Rejection

"Painful"
"Unworthy"
You question why you exist

Loathing
Self-Pity
Its lies you cannot untwist

Empathy
And reason
They bid farewell

As love
And self-esteem
Also parallel

Negativity fills faster than adipose cells

Mademoiselle

Are you truly well?

No

It takes courage to say
To seek closure
To make way
For much needed composure

Then realisation sweeps in
That our rejection is from deep within

If we never love, if we never care
We cease to be human
We fail to be fair
To our infinite inner beauty
To our imperfect self found nowhere

Take care and repair
For rejection is not the end of thy flair
