Musings on Rejection

You should have gotten used to this by now.
You share the same name, you share the same fate.
So why should this come as a surprise to
you? You should have expected something like
this to happen again.  Pipe dreams only
bring aching desolation, and tears are
a sign of callowness and frailty.  So
let the wind pass and dry your cheeks because
feigning joy and repressing your sorrow
is the only acceptable response
expected of you.  Walk on by, you who
share the same name and the same fate, and quell
all your expectations and hopes because
you should have gotten used to this by now.

Musings on Introversion

Eloquent are your thoughts.
You could spend hours on end
in content solitude
without ever feeling
even the slightest tug
of ennui. Yet those thoughts
of yours rarely translate
well into words.  They seem
to find the confines of
your mind much too pleasant.
Or do you fear judgment?
Whenever you attempt
to voice your ideas,
they scatter in the wind.
