Rejected
Denied
Turned away
"Get out of my face"
"You're a disgrace"
"Your dreams are too big"
"You'll not be selected even if the system was rigged"
"Oh Hi. Nice poetry. Come again, Never!"
"You write as well? Your cap's got another feather"
"Too bad it gives no one pleasure"
"Your writing is too emo"
"Trust us honey, we know"
"Ooh. Depression, sadness, disappointment. Bla bla bla. Next"
"I told you to send back that good for nothing poetess, didn't u get my text?"
I went to him
I went to her
And yet this stamp of rejection didn't seem to blur.
I asked everyone
It didn't work
It's like everything they saw, was murk
But I didn't give up
I kept trying
Months of crying, letters of denying, aimless flying, it felt like dying.
Tiresome journey
Every road I traversed turned out to be a dead-end
"Your work's useless", everyone reckoned
Endless periods of gloom
Hopelessness, melancholy, misery
Slowly my dreams were becoming dusty old pages of history
But then I met her
She said my writing helped her cope
Cope with what? I don't know
But she motivated me and gave me hope
She said, "Dream on for dream is what you can do
When nothing goes your way, even little belief can take you through!
It may seem like an impasse,
But darling this is also a mountain you can pass.
No mountain's high, no ocean's deep, no valley's low
But the sky is limitless, so go on,
Grow and glow."
Now I see her everyday
You want to meet her too?
Oh turn around, look in the mirror, she's that way.
