The Journey Beyond Rejection

In the stillness of dawn's early light,

A weary soul stirs, restless from night.

The weight of dreams unmet, heavy on his chest,

In silence, he rises, though sleep offered no rest.

Emails stacked with cold replies,

The words "not suitable" fill his eyes.

Rejections pile, like shadows they grow,

Each "no" a dagger, cutting slow.

Newly graduated from college, with dreams so bright,

He scans the ads in the dimming light.

"Experience required," each one decrees,

A wall he cannot climb, brought to his knees.

How can he gain what no one will give?

In this loop of despair, how can he live?

The weight of worry, sadness, and doubt,

How to break free, how to get out?

His family waits, their needs unmet,

A silent plea in their eyes set.

His hands, once steady, now tremble with fear,

The future uncertain, stark and clear.

Every role demands the years he’s yet to earn,

As friends find success, his hopes churn.

Anxiety’s grip, it steals his sleep,

As self-doubt whispers in shadows deep.

Yet in the midst of silent screams,

A flicker of hope, a spark of dreams.

An offer comes, a lifeline god sent,

A moment of joy in a life spent.

Tears of relief mix with those of pain,

A job, at last, to heal the strain.

For in this struggle, a truth profound,

Resilience blooms where despair once bound.

Each email, a battle fought and won,

In the end, the right job has come.

For every pain and countless tries,

The strength within will always rise.
