From Rejection to Strength

New beginning

By Rohitha LankaPublished 10 months ago 1 min read

I was rejected...!

I was a loser...!

I was defeated...!

My love was gone...!

I was lost...!

Only my love was gone...!

My love was gone...!

I was hurt...!

I cried alone...!

I carried the pain of death alone.

I made up my mind.

I saw every sorrow I received as a blessing and strength.

I wish that the voices I wanted to hear were no longer heard...

I wish that the voices I no longer have are no longer heard...

I wish that the same people who rejected me would find me again and realize that I am no longer the same person...

I wish that they would know that the old me is no longer the same person.

I was finally able to kill my heart and be born again...

So thank you so much for rejecting me,

and abandoning me...!

Because,

I am now experiencing that many things that I thought I wanted are actually not what I want...!

I am truly sorry.

I am now sure that someone like you is no longer in my life...!

I can't turn back.

Finally, I held on tightly...

    Moving on is wise. We don't have to feel bad for being rejected.
