I can't say I feel no pain
I can't say I feel no pain
I would be lying in this moment
Lying and fooling myself
If I were to say I feel no pain
Whenever those moments arise
And I'll feel like this world
Is here only to despise
My efforts and reject every
Effort I give to gain something
Better for myself
I can't say I feel no pain
I can't say I feel no pain
When my mind feels flooded
By feelings of inferiority
Whenever I receive
These word
We regret to inform you
That your efforts
Bare no fruit
And you are faced with
The realization that you
Will go hungry because your fields
Bare no fruits
Because your efforts have been
Deemed insignificant enough
Not to yield success
I can't say I feel no pain
I can't say I feel no pain
Black skies and circling vultures
That promise to feed on the caucus
Of your failed efforts
When the world refuses to recognize them
I feel their rotten gazes
As they look into my soul
Which crawls into the fetal position
Wishing to be back to simpler times
When I didn't have to give any effort
And I would benefit from the efforts
Of my mother
I can't say I feel no pain
I can't say I feel no pain
That the rejection letters
Which pile up
On coffee tables
Promising to break the table
Because they weigh so much
Their weight is felt by my shoulders
As I hunch over promising myself
I will not break
I feel the pain from rejection
As I simply ask for the world
To recognize my efforts
And give me a chance to reap
The fruits from my labour
I can't say I feel no pain
I can't say I feel no pain
Because I would be denying
The powerful effect that rejection has
It forces me to look inward
A chance for introspection
And self-motivation
The power to tell myself
That I will continue
Till they recognize my efforts
And I reap the fruits of my labour
Till then I'll take their rejection
And simply use it to fuel
My journey and never give up
