The thought of rejection stirs up certain emotions in us
Often times these emotions do not favor our line of thoughts.
The strong root of rejection
Leaves a clear projection
Of things to come and become
Is not a feeling one should call home
Nor is it a feeling one can hold on to for as long as it hurts.
It is a road that is too broad and hard to unload
Coming will pile of luggage we may not be capacitated to offload

But a thing I would advise is, why not make due of it as an advantage??
As to the fact that it is almost inevitable in one’s life, maybe not continually, but eventually…
Overcoming it is a challenge itself.
Taking a first step of healing and moving onward is beneficial.
Then answers are not always in man or in therapy.
It must sought and fought to someone higher and powerful.

The root of rejection comes from many roots already planted.
It is a constant struggle of security vs. insecurity.
It is a constant banter of inferiority vs. superiority
It is a complex dynamics of feelings of adequacy vs. feelings of inadequacy
These feelings of rejection creates its own stage
It plays out with its own cast on the mind of the person feeling rejected
This comes will the genuine acceptance to a state of being helpless
It speaks volume about the need to go forward or the acceptance to go backward in life
It is something no one likes to speak openly.
It is what makes others feel uncomfortable.
A lot of times people feel an unease and act inappropriately.
In that process people can be morally or immorally wrong.
Most are in self-denial about this issue.

Perception in rejection is not always a fact.
Perception in rejection could be a mirage
This perception in rejection could be faulty
Yet the sound of rejection speaks it louder in the mind of the person feeling rejected
We must accept we need help even when we feel we can help ourselves
We must accept how powerless we are and someone powerful is here for us
We must unveil all revelation in time.

Communication should bring clarification,
It should take us to a better negotiating position.
But if we have a wall of protection,
It will only bring blocks of tumble & stumble.
Resistance cannot help us
Rationality cannot speak of us to be smart
Our defensiveness makes us more and more vulnerable
We must stoop low to conquer
If there is no humble then there will be a within crumble
And when we crumble within, then nothing is left of us.

Then our pride will take us to a dead end.
We must learn to defend and not offend.
We must learn to be open minded and try to believe.
But above all be mindful of your guts
Because the last I checked through
There has always been light at the end of the tunnel!!!
