Rejection

A slap in the face, the rejection stinging so much it makes your whole body numb with the fact that you weren't good enough, you weren't able to reach that person's expectations, and that you're a failure. Nothing makes you feel better, expect when the memory fades in the background, until someone pushes the right button to snap it back forward. Right back to the pain you felt before. I don't need people's pity, I can handle it on my own! No. No I can't. But I have to try. Rejection. A slap in the face. A stab in the heart. Reality.
