REJECTED

How can he be accepted again
Ever since he lost his love
They’ve always rejected him
Even though he means well.

All they want is their happiness
They never care how he feels
Even though he tries to please them
They always hurt him in return

He’s searching for true love but
Falls into the hands of Pseudo-lovers
Who do not understand his feelings
But expect him to understand theirs

He’s willing to give his heart again
Even though he lacks the patience
To overcome the pretense of a woman
He feels the spontaneous connection

Someday he’ll find her
She’ll swallow her pride
And take him to heart
The woman he’ll cherish for life.
