Unseen

rejection,

I don’t want you anymore

rejection,

get out of my mind

you chill me beyond repair

why do I play this game?

a game where I want to pinpoint

exactly what’s wrong with me

you know that question that raises

it’s ugly head

am I good enough?

their eyes reject me

their micro-smiles are devious

they offer hugs and hellos

but I sure don’t know how to trust them

alert, eyes primed to see their allegiance

they favor her over me it seems

or is it just all misperceptions

rejection,

I don’t want you anymore

rejection,

get out of my mind
