Rejection

I feel it, all around, from nearly everyone.

I just want to spend time with my friends.

This is hard. My life is hard. And I just want to give up.

I feel like everyone is rejecting me, though, most likely, they aren't doing it purposefully. It hurts.

This root is deep. Going back years, years of torment.

I don't understand.

I always try to remember a line from a song... "There's a whisper in my ear, the voice of loneliness and fear, and I say 'Devil, disapper!'"

But it's hard to quiet this voice; especially, when it sounds like the truth.
