No wall detains those tears and pains

From a woken heart rejected

So all remains are salty stains

From a broken heart detected

They rose above
One by one, in unity and love
Into God’s arms, they were all accepted
Never again to be rejected

Am I really so flawed?
Am I truly that odd?
Crawling like a snake
Into the canebrake
A whoremongering fraud
No wonder you don't like me.

Flakes falling on our heads.
Ebullient animas of angels
Rejected at heaven’s gate.

Isabelle Dinoire

Eleven years to this day,
Isabelle Dinoire's face did lay.
Her Labrador ate it;
The surgeons replaced it --
But, she died of rejected display.

No Spare Room In Heart

Brooding on that love
a true feeling rejected
confused and perplexed.
Never should we love discard
unless no spare room in heart!

stealthily as a thief
eyes in the bedroom
pilot woke up travelers
passengers rejected
Plane took off in flames
crashing in the sea

The Ultimate Sacrifice

Scorned by friends,
Betrayed even by your own body as it	
     Broke
     Tore
     Bled
     Died, and
Rejected last by the one closer than yourself.

Ignored

I am a poem that no one wants to read
I am a path that few desire to tread
A rejected script that is gathering dust
This world of ours can be truly unjust

There is naught I can do
My tax returns fell down that Black Hole!

Old Eddie was a “has been” pizza maker
With a recipe rejected by even a faker.
He tried a new blend
However in the end
It was as passe as his ’65 Studebaker.

The Boss

The power of fear ,
Can summon a tear ,
Though tempered it gains you respect.

If abused , disrespected ,
Then scared and rejected,
You hurt ,
Instead of protect .

There was a beef lover under duress
for mocking leeks and watercress
But meat he’s rejected
so he’s now been elected

Turned down by a Spanish caballero
Rejected by an Egyptian Pharaoh --

   But the girl couldn't cook --
Hitched an old bird who ate like a sparrow

 Are looking for a  young  impudent rapist."
I called them straight off- "I'm ready for job!"
 But - was roughly rejected  by an arrogant snob.

Smile

Sometimes in your life
You might be sad,
lonely, rejected or
downcast oh friend
Do be calm
put on that smile
that you may look younger
smile is the cure
the cure to all situation
