REJECTION
How do you cope with rejection?
How do you handle the feeling of alienation?
How do you manage all the criticism?
How do you maintain your poise and uphold stoicism?
I am at a loss of what best to do
After receiving a setback to my crew
I am questioning my ability
Doubting my skills and creativity
It's better to hide in my comfort zone again
Fake a smile and wallow in disdain
Or should I redefine things in the right perspective?
Dissect things properly and be deductive
I may not have gotten what I wanted
But I have right here everything I needed
Tomorrow is another day to give it a try
So I should not worry nor should I cry
I don't always have control over things happening
But I can avoid going down in bargaining
I can be grateful for everything I have
I can be happy as I do what I love
For the greatest gift of life is not easily achieved
I have to work hard and smart as I believe
I can soon reach my dream and aspiration
Share my story and serve as an inspiration
So as I re-read the letter and face this rejection
I am changing strategy and thinking of an option
I may not know exactly what to do now
But I believe God shall answer it somehow
