RejectedA Poem by Tori Jones
I'm cast out.
From my little world From where once I blacked out In my sphere of things no one cares What I am thinking about Love is overrated And I'm unprivileged As love is like a privilege Hence most of us abuse it, And I do not deserve it For I have been fallacious To be forgiven and forgotten I'd like to be loved But I have always been shoved By the scars that burn my flesh With exhausted memories that bleed afresh You simply care About nothing but yourself And like a blunt knife, I waited for you on the shelf. You say things that burn a hole in me You tell me to be Someone I am not meant to be You make me see things No one should ever have to see Why can't you be more caring And just love me the way I am Instead you just sit there staring Pointing out my mistakes, Taking me back to my past And blaming me for how it all began. Rejected and alone I look for a home I knocked on a door That locked me to the floor. Then you my father, took me in again. Only to beat me and put me in pain. For I deserve to be worthless In this chained cage I feel hopeless Having taken my last strike I'm dying from being alone My whole life disintegrating, Into a substantial hole Drifting into the unfathomed depths From which cold darkness creeps. Love is something that I'd love to keep Then I'd have something to breathe And to live...
