Disregard The Discarded

Isolated by this storm

Of evolving awareness

That all is not well

No matter how much

I tell myself it’ll get better

I am hit with the reminder

Things will only get worse

Because hope has drowned

Along with the future

And the possibility of love

Has dwindled into nothingness

Now I am crippled

And entombed in a hostile body

That refuses to embrace bliss

 

I’m sorry I was never good enough for you

I’m sorry I was merely a ghost in your world of fame and fortune

You’ll never know my name

You’ll never see my face

Because I never belonged in your circle

Once, when I felt I could not get any lower than rock bottom, a crack opened up beneath me and I fell into an abyss - but laying broken from what I thought was an unassailable position, a shaft of hope and rope of light rescued me - this was belief in myself! These were the thoughts I had after reading your poignant piece - rejection can be overcome - time heals and true friends comfort. A sad but brave share … bless … :-)

Thank you. It's just a natural part of life I suppose.
