I'm sorry I can't help it.
I fall too fast,
Too scared of rejection.
I wish I knew how to control my feelings about her.
My mind is racing,
Not knowing what will come next.
I'm fine, just being friends.
Tell me you won't leave.
when you like a girl but are afraid of rejection

I made a well-written paper.
Telling my story and my passion.
Each word has its own purpose.
Why they can’t see the intention?
Giving it for one person to another.
Can you give me a call if possible?
I thought I created a master piece.
They replied “ It can be seen anywhere at the street”.
They are right.
I am not the one.
Rejection, you broke my heart.
And I am stunned.
Rejection is my fear. These past weeks I've been rejected in many things. And I am trying to get back again and move-on.

Oh I still remember, my 1st day, I was new,
saw a girl, curly hair, beautiful smile and gleaming eyes like dew
Didn't care much then, didn't even know her name
but was she Ordinary ? oh no lord! she was the flame

Then in December, one Thursday noon
Are you hungry, she asked me by the pool
Through your eyes, got the galaxy's view
Fell so badly girl, yikes! how did you?

Three months said bye,
Loved you every second that went by,
On one day which I thought was divine,
t'was midnight March, the deepest secret of mine,
I have a crush on you, god I lied
Then Good night bro.. so I cried

A small virus, threatened humanity
We got so close, just my insanity
Finally got what I wanted, I thought
so should I ask her again , why not

So In the month of poems, I did
tried to hold back tears, they slid
true that, My fault all along
Thought I was the one, that you belonged

Her heart beats for another,
got to know, through my brother
Oh dear god, what was my sin,
Out of 7 billion hearts in kin
Whyyy, whyyy did my heart, beat
for a heart, that didn't beat for me
All of us fall in love with someone who doesn't give a **** about us...

Three years ago, I signed up for the army,
I trained hard every single day just like Rocky,
Whilst i was waiting for them to get back to me.

But when they looked up my medical history,
They were forced to reject me, unfortunately,
Because I suffer from iron deficiency.

Perhaps if i was not born with this diffculty,
I'd most likely  be serving this great country.

“Bang!” one word in the novel
It killed the man
“Sorry.” one word uttered
The man killed me
Mindless thoughts

If I fall down a rabbit hole,
once or twice,
is it deliberate, or a mistake?
Am I being too nice?

I peer over the edge,
and throw my feelings down asunder;
hope it floods the rabbit hole,
as clouds rumble with thunder.

But it floats to the top,
and now, I have my own wishing well,
with bunny carcasses, snakes, egg shells,
oh well.

Empty it, bucket by bucket;
burry each skeleton in a bed of flowers,
until there is no evidence
of the feelings that I cower.

And rumble, comes the next thunder,
before I even wake.
I've stumbled down the rabbit hole
again, it floods the gate.
i've caught feelings for someone right across the world from me. it's time that i crush those feelings once more.

Ever since I was a little child, I always wondered what it would feel like to be an ant. A little teeny-weeny tiny ant. Wandering around in this gigantic world. Following the sugary smell of life, yet all they find are scraps. Collecting all there is from it for their families, and no matter how small the food seemed to us humans, it would always be HUGE for them to carry.

Later on, I grew a bit older, and I started to think, how did the first ant that was ever killed feel like? to be stepped on by a huge giant foot, and without it even realizing that it had stepped on an ant.

How strange it is that such a critter can carry 50 times its own bodyweight, yet can be killed so abruptly.

Would it feel anything? Or would it simply just die? Would her family and friends even realize that it’s dead? Does it even have friends and family and little ants that cared about it?

I wasn’t really sure about the answer, but I always wondered about it.

And then it hit me, or should I say smashed me. That same giant foot I was talking about. No not only did it smash me, but it squished me, squished me hard enough, that I became nothing but a…? I guess I became nothing.

Since then, I knew exactly what the answer was. To be a little tiny creature smashed to the ground. Nobody noticed. Nobody cared. Or did they?

Why do I do this to myself?
Why do I see rejection where there is none?
Being in love is like flying with no safety net
It feels like nothing else in the world, but,
when you fall, you fall hard.
Pain takes my breath away
thinking about you.
I know you have needs
I have needs too.
Whose do we satisfy? Why?
Who decides? Who balances the scales?
Why is it so ******* hard being away from you?
I try to hold back the tears
I try to respect your space
But, ******* hell, I am screaming
and you can't hear me.
I miss you, I want to touch you
but you won't come.
If that is not rejection, then
my mind is hell on earth.

Denial,
such a human emotion.

So quick am I to turn my back,
to close my eyes against the truth

So adamant that it must be wrong

it must

For if I am right I would have to face the consequences of something that is out of my control.


If denial is my first instinct, to claw my way out of the quicksand

then why,

when I came out,

did I never except denial from you?

The approach was too abrupt
Too Strong
The vibe felt right so you jumped at the opportunity that you believed would remove yourself from the comfort of your mental prison
Rejected
You took a leap of faith
You tried to escape
Rejection is a song that's played many times before but now its become a theme of failed attempts where the ego shouts for the need to be alone and in solitude
Rejection fuels the ego
But not the soul
He takes a back seat and lets the ego control
With every failed attempt the more the walls close in
The more the prison grows in capacity
The more solitude fills itself in
