Don't Reject Me

Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria

By Amber SanfilippoPublished 5 years ago 1 min read
Photo taken by me, during a panic attack

This rejection

It is a Fear

That runs in my blood.

This dysphoria

It runs deep.

I can’t breathe.

Please, will you accept me?

Please, will you love me?

Please, will you help me?

Please, will you be with me?

Please, will you smile at me?

And tell me it will be alright.

Please, will you let me know?

Please, I need to know.

That I’m not being rejected.

Rejected in life and in love.

Rejected at work and at home.

I'm scared

And I’m angry

This sensitivity.

I fear

That no one can love me,

No one will love me.

I don’t trust anybody.

I only know

that I am always rejected

And I’m always alone.
