REJECTION



Trying to conglutinate leading to selection
In the process left in suspension
Either by your accent or your complexion
Set aback to the expulsion
Trying to get attention
Apply some make-up to increase attraction
Being pushed away by their reaction
Just to zero depletes your passion
Even when you try to increase your sense of fashion
Build your house or get a mansion
With sunglasses, boots and a nice lotion
Marching into the hall with increased tension
Tension leads to depression
And lack of confidence to Rejection.

    Wow, this poem really encapsulates the feeling of rejection in a powerful way. I love the use of imagery and the flow of the poem. It really evokes the emotions that come with being rejected.

    One suggestion for improvement could be to delve deeper into the emotions behind rejection and how it affects the person experiencing it. Adding more personal anecdotes or specific examples could make the poem even more relatable and impactful. Additionally, considering playing with the structure of the poem to add more variation and emphasis to certain lines. Overall, great job on capturing such a complex and universal feeling in your poem!
