“If you cannot be yourself, do not take away the identity of another.” -D.J.E. Why do you return in another form, Another residual voice? Did you forget the palpable scar you left Through your romantic coercions? We believed you. We trusted you. We even kind of liked you. You knew this, You cherished this. Yet, with enamoring backhands You crossed the boundary of someone else's heart While you forgot to rediscover Your own independent territory All in the name of co-dependent epiphanies. Blame the shameful animosities around you As you hide behind atmospheric rainbows And tectonic miseries You reach for the loins of those in disdain As your smile falsely proclaims That it will stop their rain Your stalker’s reign, The only truth behind your crooked swagger Verbally, your conjugated kiss could never complete my sentences… …for I’ve already been sentenced to a lifetime of paradoxical complexities. And no matter how many profile pics you lay claim to, You malicious self-worth will always be defaulted. ©D.J.E. – July 5th, 2018

For the sake of this particular poem, no. But, similar has happened to me before. This was more of a dedication for others it has happened to. Thank you so much, dear Charmaine!

I LOVE that quote and such a powerfully penned poem Drake. No one really knows who is behind that avatar and sadly I know of one such person on soup had multiple accounts and stalked another member until he left:-( hugs Jan xx adding this to my faves:-)

Cheers & thank you so much, Jan. :) There are so many. I cannot imagine so many have given up on their own dreams where they remotely scheme to destroy somebody else. Oh, the blessing & curse that is the internet...
