Excellent This is a poem with the word rejection used to create the po Rejection by Kirsten Shonle Artwork by Cindy Sue Truman at FanArtReview.com

Received another rejection Everything crumbles inside my head Joy will never be an emotion for me Eyes feel like they are burning holes inside of me, Critics are like that, getting pleasure in tearing me down Things could be different, if only my talent wasn’t lost I cannot think, I’ve come undone Oh, to be like all the others who don’t know what rejection means Never again, I cannot face the rejection, my stories will die with me Author Notes Not getting a literary agent and not getting good reviews makes me question why I even bother writing in the first place. I decided to write this poem but I'm feeling really discouraged to write another poem or chapter in my novel. I'm not looking for sympathy here. Just felt the need to express myself to others.
