What is compatibility
What does it mean for you and me
Don’t you think that probably
A really great couple we could be?
Rejection is something that, simply,
We don’t often take lightly
If only others could truly
See us with eyes that truly see
No pain or heartache would be lovely
But that’s not how love works, you see?
Oftentimes when things go poorly
Rejection’s sting comes timely
To those poor souls who, quite frankly
Eat rejection almost daily
From jobs to lovers, what tragedy
To live in such a reality
Rejection’s accompaniment nightly
Singing in one’s head, softly
You’re all alone, no one wants to be
Your friend or lover, so sorry.

A Glaring Omission
I made peace with being cast out by others pretty early in life. As lonely as it may sound, I don’t recall many times during childhood when those actions affected me any longer than a moment or two. Being deemed the weird/gay/weird gay freak by everyone from neighborhood kids to blood relatives allowed me the privilege of sneaking away whenever I pleased to dive deeper into hobbies that molded the proud pop culture geek and writer I am today.
