Rejection Poems - Poems about Rejection

O’ dear, I learned today you’re spoken for; I asked the question, got the answer: “no”. Ayayaye…but, considering the blow wasn’t so bad, I’m glad I tried to score. Oh dear,—(I must admit)—you know what’s more?, you’ve snatched the beauty right out from this low world; o’ diamond, why must you hoard it so? All other charms have lost their glow, they...

i speak my words fall to the wayside off a cliff into the great abyss i hear myself but no one else takes notice as if i'm walking through a fog that's dense and everyone is blind i speak yet no one hears a word i say i'm wading trough a pool of driftwood i may as well join in and float towards the great unknown i'm alone while everyone around...

Every rejection, a redirection Don't be ashamed or let it tame you. Don't let them change you, If they won't accept who you are. People don't value What they can't control or own, Just stay in your lane doing it your way. Many only wanna partake In your blessings not lessons I hope you understand this! Just be you as...

"Painful" "Unworthy" You question why you exist Loathing Self-Pity Its lies you cannot untwist Empathy And reason They bid farewell As love And self-esteem Also parallel Negativity fills faster than adipose cells Mademoiselle Are you truly well? No It takes courage to say To seek closure To make way For much needed composure Then realisation sweeps in That our rejection is from deep within If we never love, if we never care We cease to be human We fail...

I offered her my trembling heart, A blossom pale beneath the sky, But she, with cold and careless art, Let it wither and pass by. I sang for her the sweetest song, A melody of stars and sea, But she, unmoved, walked on too long, She did not turn to glance at me. The moon was kind and watched my tears, The night was...

The storm of rejection can be a tumultuous and overwhelming experience, out pour of emotion of a blocked shot, sending the ball of the court, leaving us feeling battered and bruised. It can hit us suddenly, with no warning, or it can slowly build up over time, wearing us down with each passing rejection, But just as...

POEMS ABOUT OPHELIA Ophélie (“Ophelia”) by Arthur Rimbaud translation by Michael R. Burch On pitiless black waves unsinking stars abide while pale Ophelia, a lethargic lily, drifts by. Here, tangled in her veils, she floats on the tide. Far-off, in the woods, we hear the strident bugle’s cry. For a thousand years, or more, sad Ophelia, This albescent phantom, has rocked here, to and...

Don’t seek perfection in a world of deception, a place of test for he and she. If God intended for man perfection, no mortal being will disagree. For every time you feel rejection, only the truth will set you free. And when you tread in wrong direction, your path will lead to misery. So be...

They’re “sorry” they won’t print my words of freedom now all I seem to have rejection songs rejection songs I tried to free my mind, over a thousand pages but...

For My Children - Daniel Henry Rodgers As dawn's first blush ignites the eastern sky—a cool Caress of dew upon the breeze—and the birds' serenade Pierces the silence, their notes ascending high. The mist, like a spectral ballet, pirouettes, twirling In the light. And the flowers, in their resplendent array, Bloom, banishing the night. My beloved, her face is like a sonnet, and our...

Rejecting someone isn't easy It like breaking a beautiful vase, A vase you created with sweat and tears With laughter and smiles A vase, you have tenderly handled up until now It's like tearing a part of your soul and leaving a void Dark, black, hopeless, empty Swallowing a poisoned pill knowing it kills Gulping it down without water Leaving behind a bitter...

When the words don’t lure me with their muse, Desire to pour out hopes, dreams, light that bleeds, Wetting the beauty of my heart’s best seeds, Emptying the feelings, once caged by pain, shame, Thoughts meant to be penned, poetry, mapped out, Despairing of the urge to stay buried by a trail of can’t. ...
