Every word,
Is like a dagger in my side.
I feel rejected.
Hurt.
Sad.
You have rejected my work.
I don’t even remember what I wrote.
I know it was something about people in school,
But what it was really about,
I’m not sure.
And so here I am,
Writing this for all to see.
Talking about how you rejected me.

The author's comments:
I wrote the first 2 lines, and then i went on teenink to see if my article had been posted. It hadn't and i realized it had probably been rejected. So i checked my email and there was the rejection notice. I felt kind of rejected, like i do sometimes at school. But it's okay, didn't hurt as much as it does at school.
