Rejections Lament

Your mystery and beauty, to know it I once prayed
A leap of faith to reach you, fallen broken and frayed

Invisible in a crowd, alone like no other
Through faceless strangers I see you, in the arms of another

Strong, aggressive, and dominate, these things I am not
Caring and compassion mean something, at least I once thought

Gyms and books bring improvement, but at the end Im still me
Sensitive, Emotional, and Quiet, nothing in this man to see

Starved and deprived of the most basic and human needs
I cant change what I am, in my soul bitterness breeds

Children make us immortal, but my genes are deemed unfit
I cant make you love me or fuck me, away with my soul to the pit

Man was not meant to be alone, unless you're on Gods shit-list
Even the father of all has his favorites, Im stuck under his thumb and fist

Rejected, unloved, and abandoned, all hope is truly gone
The sun sets on my hopes and dreams, for me there is no dawn

The clear water turns dark red, my existance bled-out and erased
Pain fades to peaceful slumber, at last Ive been embraced...
