Ode To Rejection Poem by Jackie Chou

Ode To Rejection



I didn't know the meaning
of his cold brown eyes.
The unreturned phone calls.

I just let him
burn my world black,
like a ceaseless fire.

My name on the dean's list, black.
The ink I spent writing about him, black.
The sky starless and black.

The word rejection
charred my self worth,
until I understood it.

It lost its power,
and the light shone through
the darkness.
