Rejection Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Good deeds done,
Are seldom remembered...
By those who benefit from them.
But someone disliked for no reason at all,
Will be given attention for rest of their life.
For whatever they did or hadn't done...
Or just being who they are.
To never to know,
How indirectly but not admitted...
They have been 'despised' for so long,
That their name has been mentioned enough...
To bore those listening to tears.

'WHY?
Why...
Do you always bring them up in our conversation?
Why do you do this? '

They make me sick and get on my nerves.
They 'think' they are ALL THAT.
But they are not.
I can't stand them!

'Why don't you tell them how you feel?
Get it off your chest.
Get rid of it.'

And get rejected?
Are you kidding?
I may be into many things,
But rejection isn't one of them.
