Turned down,
didn’t make it,
part of the cut.
Chopped up,
turned outside in,
heart severed.
Rejected, flicked,
esteem stolen,
devalued, nowhere.
Sad, numb,
angry, silent,
embarrassed, dumb.
The dead weight
of the moment
that smothers
your being.
Please,
no platitudes!
I don’t want
to be told
about the
next time.
I am just feeling
all that disappointment
is for me right now.
