REJECTION DIARY:


Rejection Poetry
Courtesy of a Nameless Reader


Sorrow fills the empty places....
Places that I once used to feel....
Only space separates my soul....
From the rest, I am cold...
Life is a great big stone that drags me to the grave...
In the great hands of God, I find myself a slave....
If this doesn't count as rejected....
I might as well be inspected....

*Nameless Reader
(actually, this reader probably has a name,
he or she just didn't include it with the letter).

 

Dear Nameless Reader,

Roses are Red
Violets Are Blue
Time might seem like your enemy
But it can be your best friend, too.

Not the most clever poem, but still, it needed to be said. Listen, we all feel for you. Give yourself time to be sad, but then get it together. Everything in life is temporary -- break-ups included. Just beyond this storm of gloom is hope. It's there. I promse. If you can't find the strength to see it and get there on your own, then seek some professional help. As for the part about "Life is a great big stone..." in your poem, that got me thinking. Don't let that stone drag you down. Instead, do something nice for yourself. Treat yourself to a hot stone massage (they're so relaxing). Take care of you. It's time.
