Rejection

Fear of rejection can come to us all
Feeling alone like facing the wall
All the outside just staring in
If only they could see what is within 
Not feeling the spirit from all around 
Just want to hide, open up the ground!

Rejection can come in many forms
From playground antics and college dorms
It can even turn up in a relationship 
Too change this one shoot from the hip

To tackle rejection do it head on
Find out why and remain strong
Is it emotional or is it social 
Both of these are psychological
They can be treated and sorted out
But remain calm try not to shout

Rejection can cause anger and aggression 
External and even inward explosion 
Don't blame yourself as this you don't need
Find a safe place, breathe slowly or read

A reason for this thought you won't find
It's a receptor buried deep in the mind 
Studies say it's from out evolutionary past
They managed, so keep calm have a blast

Emotional pain is hard to ignore 
Stay positive and don't become a bore 
Pick yourself up and find the light 
Then your life will start to be bright 
Keep working on the little things
Then you will find what happiness brings
