Fear of Rejection

                    Fear of Rejection

Rejections have been a part of my life since childhood.

Nothing new in this.

But those rejections made me stronger

and helped me step out of my comfort zone.

Sometimes I’m zoned out,

completely blank.

I don’t know what will come next

after being rejected again.

Rejections are harmful —

they hurt my soul.

I’ve been rejected from so many places

that felt like they were meant for me.

I’m clueless about when I’ll finally get selected.

Rejected from job interviews,

and so many other things.

But one day, for sure,

I will reach my dream place.

Not only in interviews,

but even in places where I was loyal —

I got rejected there too.

Since childhood, I’ve seen others given opportunities.

But when it came to me,

those chances were taken away.

Do rejections come

because of physical appearance —

or something else?

Why are we always judged

by outer beauty,

not by the beautiful soul within?

Betrayal from loved ones

hurts more than from strangers.

I’ve experienced both.

Strangers and known ones alike

have become my worst nightmares.

They kill my peace —

not with weapons,

but with horrible looks and cruel taunts.

Why can’t they stand

to see someone else succeed?

Being rejected again and again

is dragging me into

depression, stress, and anxiety.

And these three besties

are stealing my sleep.

Ending with true words:

Don’t reject someone based on their physical appearance.

Look at their talents, their creativity, their heart.
