Ramblings Part 53

Rejection got me feeling blue

First rejection letter after a long day

Take a deep breath try to keep it straight

Then I realize I've gotten it out of the way

~

Everyone has been so kind

Sharing nothing but praise for me

I hadn't felt the sting of rejection yet

But now I've got it out of the way

~

It was nothing mean nor cruel

Simply not right now thank you

Still my fragile ego tried to shatter

But hey now that's out of my way

~

Pushing forward not going to let it stop me

I knew this day would come

I have always been expecting

But now it is out of the way

~

So thank you all for your brilliant praise

It helps push me through on some darker days

Now I've gotten my first rejection letter

So I can push forward with this fear no more

~

If any of you read Ramblings Part 40 you'll know I submitted to a literary magazine for the first time a bit back. Well they got back to me finally with a rejection letter. So I was sad for a moment and then I laughed because I realized while it did suck it wasn't the end of the world. So I hope you enjoyed this rambling.
