Sorry, You’ve Been Rejected

What do you do now?

It’s at times of rejection

Where I started questioning

If I had done this differently

Would I be what I dream of

I’ve been head deep in my thoughts for so long

That when the letter of rejection arrived

I was pulled out to breathe for the first time in a while

But the breath is heavy

Heavy with fear

Do I dive back in

Just to close my eyes?

Or keep breathing till the air becomes clear

I’ve wasted so much of my time

Planning my life around the acceptance

The one that never came

What do I do now?
