Rejects

Somewhere between children's games in the dust and the adult world full of words that cut deeper than a knife, simplicity is lost. Yesterday, friends were beetles; today, they are as lost as he is. In his heart, there is a hole from his mother's silence and his father's shadow, and it all sounds like an inner cry: ‘I wish I had never been born.’ But in this heart-wrenching noise there is honesty - the kind that does not hide behind masks and shows the raw truth about what it is like to be alive and feel useless at the same time.
