Rejection = Motivation

Rejection = Motivation

Rejected by you,
Sadness comes upon me,
Speculating as to why,
Constant hindsight questioning,

I look in the mirror the next morning,
And don’t like what I see,
I walk away with my head sunken,
Embarrassed to be me,

Night finally arrives,
The day of agony behind me,
Yet when I close my eyes,
Only visions of you do I see,

As each morning passes,
And every night ends,
The image in the mirror alters,
My head begins to rise again,

Able to take a step back,
Garner a new perspective,
Seeing what all went awry,
Discovering I was the victim,

Finally able to look in the mirror and smile,
Standing proud with my head held high,
Walking with a new-found spirit,
With a new-found motivation in life,

Rejected by you,
Now grateful for that,
Knowing I can do better,
You’re the one missing out,

Rejected by you,
Void of your games and dishonesty,
Later regretting your decision,
As I look back at you laughing.

hindsight is a wonderful thing! If we only knew that it would be the making of us!! A wonderful introspective piece..
