The Grapes Are Too Sour

A poem on rejections by top publications

Every single day,

A new rejection comes my way.

I keep thinking of what went wrong,

Did I tick them off,

or did I ignore something Strong?

Please tell me

what can I possibly do,

to make you accept me as one of you.

I promise to seep in

like I always belonged,

Just give me one chance

don’t keep it so prolonged.

That day won’t be far when I will start hating your existence.

Even the huge number of followers,

won’t stop my resistance.

So make a note right in this hour,

don’t wait for people to shun you

thinking the grapes are too sour.
