The cut of us

Each rejection
a cut
a blow to the ego
a tear to the seas
it hollows
and the default is doubt,
what is wrong with me?
I am not good enough
or worthy of love
so this… punishment
to endure for
harboring fallacies

and that is the battle –
we know that it isn’t true
but the pangs hurt
just the same.

So we blame us.
