Rejection

It’s not often I get rejected, but I feel like I do

I never give anyone the chance

Long before someone could even think that I would have something to propose I feel rejected

“They would never say yes” “They probably never even thought about” “Why risk it”

These grand fantasies of the possibilities I could have had, they’ve been rejected

Not by someone else but by myself

I never give myself the respect to even consider it

Pure delusions of grandeur

“That could never happen to me” “Why waste my time”

I’m not good enough

Rejection is sharp stab from others but from yourself it’s constant anguish

I never been rejected by another

But I always reject myself
