Rejection: A poem 

The heat of agitation 

from the cold of rejection 

And tepid meekness doesn’t suffice 

when the igloo is made of ice 

Stone and sludge unhinge the cart 

when hope’s day is broken apart 

But one cannot shepherd the wind’s voice 

Humiliation’s lightning strike is never a choice 

A victim’s grief dies unheard 

It is only the mind’s silently screaming word 

Helplessness can only leave a moist eye 

For authority can never be defied 

Pick up the fallen shadow from the floor 

Collect the shards and walk out the door 

A humble mind can leave behind 

And still calm and composure find

Hi, I am Monte Cyril Rodrigues and live in Melbourne, Australia. I am a retired journalist. I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia. I've had voices and visions all my life. I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
