Rejection.

Rejection

If I open the door to myself and wait

Surely must come a friend to be

Lovely enough to accommodate my being

Patient enough to learn my style

Allow me to stay and be a friend

The feeling of rejection has eaten me up

No one really to call a friend

Is this my fault or fault of the world?

I sleep a little to stay up and think

Whose fault is it that am all alone

God, open my eyes to the answers I seek

Is it your plan that am a man alone

People around me, but no one within

Am I rejected or is it a mental mistake

Finally today the answer in mine

I found out the reason why am all alone

I locked up my doors and tied my hands

Waiting for friends to jump the roof

Shouting to myself am all alone.

this is original work written by me. I will love to see how people see this work, and tell me my mistakes.

This is original poem written by the author.

Well written Paul. Your first paragraph says it all and that friend is YOU!

Keep digging deep inside yourself....you are your own best friend.
