The Reject
They call me a reject
I swear it must be by defect
I try to give respect
But they only deflect
I can never interject
What should I expect?
I try to tell myself that it's indirect
Like a tape, they press eject
They wonder how I detect
Now, let me reflect
When I try to protect
All I get is disrespect
In this place, I feel like an insect
They say to always be perfect
That should be incorrect
They don't know the effect
It's the mere concept
That one person can change the erect
In the mean time, I should take the time to collect
But then again, I should just disconnect
