Rejection

by Nobody   Jun 23, 2017


You didn't just say those words
You poured them on me
Staining my skin until they became
Apart of who I am

You didn't just say those words
You took a hot poker and branded
Them on my heart until they became
Apart of every beat

You didn't just say those words
You took a needle and etched them
On my every bone until they became
Apart of my very marrow

But now you want to take back those words
As if you can peel off my skin,
Tear out my heart, and grind my bones
Until I am nothing but a pile of loose muscles, spilled blood and organs

Now you want to take my very being
And destroy it with the words you placed
With the actions you chose
Like they it meant nothing at all.
Like I meant nothing at all.

    This...is...EXCELLENT! Gripped me from the very beginning! What powerful words and descriptions! People never truly realize how powerful words can be. Especially those words. Like you describe so beautifully in this piece, they can feel like they have become a part of you, within you, and they can leave wounds that never truly heal and scars that will never go away. This is such a great write! Amazing job, hon! Much love and peace to you!

    Hi firstly, I don't want to start this with hello nobody so from now on I'm going to you somebody because everybody is a somebody and that includes you and me to regardless of what we may think.

    I'd be lying if I said the title intrigued me because truth be told your piece was last posted and I usually read most and try comment and I couldn't read this without commenting because it's really well done and though it's somewhat sombre it resonates with me and no doubt many of us here because we are all let's face it scared of rejection.

    1/ This was almost like having acid poured over you because it burns and scars thus staining the skin and becoming a part of you which in my opinion is extremely powerful. Just my thoughts.

    2/ This too is very powerful. The control aspect is extremely hard hitting (for me as I've been there) because though the words arent said the emotional abuse is there and it stays there with us until we meet our end.

    3/ I can't even comment on this. It made my jaw drop open and my hayfever began playing up (if you know what I mean)

    4/ Holy smokes the imagery here is shamazingly brutal but fantastic nonetheless. One of the things that cannot be undone is words when they're said, unfortunately.

    5/ A very powerful ending. All I can say is it's the ones that hurt us with the problem not us.

    Typo error in the first three stanzas on all "apart" in these instances it should be "a part"

    Take care
