Rejection

Our childhood was selfish reign did nothing but cause personal pain our parents did naught for the self-worth gain but ridiculed us into shame. All our lives we tried to change the internal dialogue negative was rejection hounded like a savage dog not able to let go of its forming fog. We ran away to seek our fortunes but self destruct was meant to be life was hard, a test you see the best wasn't meant to be. The least we knew, but wanted more why not settle the shameful score because rejection sits at the core keeping love outside the door. I know the answer! Self-help books adorn read with fever but left forlorn happiness clouded as I now morn left wishing I was never born. Everything I've tried was to heal this became my Achilles Heel. The wheel of life, the circle done I accept my lot, rejection won.
