Rejection
We all go through it
It hurts
It stings
It is one of the worst feelings
Whether it be friends
Lovers
Family
It has happened
Dragging it out is worse than dealing with it head on
Silence is even worse
The things people promise then renege on
Time to think
Time to realize
A speck of dust
In the grand world
Is perhaps all I am
Realizing this
Pushes me to go quiet
The heart slows
The imagination quiets
Life goes back to what it was before
I can't change things
I can try to learn from them
The ones that will try
It will be harder
No trust
No openness
Whether family or friends
I will be more careful
When I hand over the little pieces of me
Who you get to know
Which side of me will it be
For the real me is buried deep down
Hiding now
Needing time to cower as the little person
Before being able to stand tall again
