Long Rejections Poems

Come out and shine down 
Moonlight…
Shun out my darkened frown

I am the infinitesimal stars in the tranquil, terrestrial night
I am the scars minutes before the sunlit dawn...

regular custodial collared routine,
for over...

Giving in to the silence one last time,
Everyone needs encouragement once in a while
Some need it everyday

				Who knows the direction
				Our life will go,
				Our dreams and goals
				Sometimes get put on hold
				Or rejections come our way
				You can’t plan life
				Life comes...

Knowing a tragedy has struck in life
