Rejected

  • Dedicated to A Beauty of a Sis, Ashley
                                    

There a man walk yonder,

With no hope of being accompanied

His appearance repels any who glance at him.

A jagged tooth here, ripped cloth there

In the nights, cold and unbearable,

He seeks warmth in the shelters scattered.

Yet that warmth is only temporary,

For what is cold here is the rejection.

The companionship offers the sympathy,

Thawing any rugged heart.

If the others understood that the inside counted,

Then they will see the obvious, yet unspoken,

That amid the darkness, even nights can be warm.
