Another letdown


Another letdown,
another torn heart,
another failure,
another disappointment,
......
why do I bother?

An illusion of hope
broken
with another
rejection,
once more
I must
pick up the pieces
and build up
the courage
to try again.

But right now
I am tired,
tired of this,
all these rejections
continuously
break my heart.

How many times
do I have to try
before acceptance
replaces
the rejections?

Too many,
too many to count.

Another letdown,
another torn heart,
another failure,
another rejection,
......
why do I bother?

Hi Janel

I offer you a shoulder of support in your time of need. Perhaps rejection is sent our way to make that moment of success all the more sweet. The more rejection and the more percerverance the sweeter that victory when it comes your way.

All the best... be like the tortoise!

Ash

I know that's true,
but it's so hard....
year after year
it's always the same,
"your piece was not accepted,
pick it up on these dates ..etc."

This is about submitting my art
into an art show, and having it
repeatedly being rejected.
makes me question myself
and my abilities... sigh

it's not my nature to give up,
so i know i'll try again,
jus hope that day comes soon
when acceptance is sent my way...

it gets harder and harder
to pick up the pieces
after being rejected
so many times in a row.

Thank you so much Sasha,
i'm done rambling now.
I truly appreciate you.

Huggs,
Janel
