They turned me down

again

I set it up to happen even

told myself it would be a blessing

the way to move forward by releasing this ‘past’

It hurt though rejection even one I set myself up for

I am pretty sure it will act as a catalyst, move me in the direction I am aiming with

more vigor and conviction

but today, it hurts.

We’ll see how it goes when these few lines get published here

by then maybe, a whole new story to tell
