Rejection is pain
pure and simple
impure and complicated
doesn't matter
rejection is pain
and nobody on earth is exempt from it
and I doubt there is any relief from the hurt
except the passage of time and the pen in a poet's hand.

A fabulous poem! I greatly admire and appreciate the underlying philosophy.................................10
Part Two- -I was talking about the heart being rejected by a lover or a friend or a family member- - it is a soul-damaging thing to happen, damning if happens over and over and over. The best salve is that found in forgiveness. Thank you my friend, I will come to you for more comforting words if my books get the thumbs down! ! ! !
Part One- - Soran, I wasn't talking about that horrid kind of rejection! ! ! I haven't reached the point of finding an agent and waiting for the rejections slips... but the series will be published I tell myself.
Do not worry, maybe publishing houses look at your novel from a profit or commercial perspective, and this is not evidence of its badness. I hope to see your name among international novelists.
Thank you for liking my conclusion, Anjandev! ! ! It beats what some heartbroken people turn to! ! !
Wisely written......great conclusion......thank u, dear poetess.....anjandev roy.

Hi Susan, Rejection, of course, inflicts the gravest of pains, absolutely. Very well said. And nobody is exempt from the pain of rejection. Not even gods. Any number of examples in the myths... And your discovery makes the icing on the cake: “I doubt there is any relief from the hurt Except passage of time and the poet’s pen”... Wonderful... a bouquet of tens...
You deserve a bouquet of friendship flowers!
