Not a Reject

You’re just something better

You’re not a reject. You just didn’t get the desired elect.

You’re too great and you were destined for a higher select.

It’s not a loss because they didn’t choose you.

They’ll look back and realize that they were foolish to lose you.

Do you not realize that you are one in a million?

You missed out on billions because you were meant to captivate trillions.

You really are the diamond in the rough.

Once the world gets a pick of you they’ll never get enough.

The wrong didn’t choose you because you’re hard to find.

The right people will realize you’re one of a kind.

In time the world will be grateful for your effect.

Unique beyond words. No, you are not a reject.
