As kids, when we suffered any painful rejection, sometimes again and again, my Mom liked to remind us of the Superman episode where he kept failing the vision test. Because with his superhuman, X-ray vision he was reading the eye chart not on the wall of that room, but the chart on the wall four rooms beyond!

Think about that metaphor. And if the shoe fits, wear it. I think you must. With pride.
We live in a mediocre world that is unable to appreciate true greatness. Sure, everyone pays lip service to greatness. But so very often they don't recognize it even when it is staring them square in the face.
So much for literary agents. It is not your failing, but theirs.
Take heart. You *will* realize your dream. I feel convinced of that. But it might take some time. (And it might not happen exactly the way you imagined.)
