They've been very complimentary
proving to some to be more than satisfactory
And still not even a mention
Instead of getting hopes up, I should exercise caution
Over 2 years and so many attempts
My creative juices often end up spent
And still not even a mention
Why didn't I stick to my decision
Why put up the effort for not so much as an "attaboy"
Especially seeing something fun end up with no joy
And still not even a mention
Is it because of the more than fifty with no attention
The death of a dream, where ideas rot
Every bit of effort in a land that time forgot
And still not even a mention
I guess I don't qualify under some stipulation
Get up and walk away
Resist the urge to come back one day
There'll never be a mention
Amid constant failure and repeated rejection
