When a Poetry MFA Program Rejects Me

Sometimes, I WONDER:

                                                  

Why am I still writing?

How am I still fighting?

Why am I still rhyming?

How am I still smiling?

                                                                          

Someone, please TELL ME:

                                                                             

After rejections,

Endings, and everything,

Why do I still BELIEVE

Poetry is my destiny?
