My Sanctuary

Being rejected is like being stabbed by a thousand knives
But sometimes rejection can truly change our lives
I've experienced many obstacles & hindrances before
In every problem, we should start building a new door

All my life I've spent my days and nights lonely
Of thinking the problems God has given to me
Peer pressure, family problems, losing hope and unfixed decisions
But what hurts the most of all is purely rejection

While I was still young and frolicsome, there was a time I've had my first crush
But it turned out that he crushed my heart as if turning it into ash
Because I find out that he really likes my best friend
That's the moment that all my hopes and dreams end

There was also a time when my peers don't understand me
But I never wanted for our friendship to turned into adversary
So I need to make actions to save our goodwill
Just to do things with them like before, for real

You know, I've also got problems with my family
Especially the times when they don't understand me
But I'm trying so hard to change my flaws and imperfections
So that I could have a brand new sense of direction

I can be found at my room when there's nowhere to go
Sometimes I pray to God for a person for me to borrow
It's silly but I need a person who can listen to me even for awhile
Also, the one who can turn every frown into smile

I believe there's a person for me out there
All I need is to be strong despite how life is unfair
I may know now that person or not,
But I'm pretty sure if we meet, we'll get along a lot

As for now, I'm in my room while I'm writing this poem
When I'm in here, I feel I'm in my secret dome
Whenever I'm down, I just go to my sanctuary
I prefer to be alone because I can't please everybody
