Nothiing offensive at all Arlo (perhaps a commenter) but such a thoughtful offering about those "devils" we create in our own minds - that we, unfortunately, cannot escape?

Escape is futile; responsibility accounts must be paid: The Cross. Thx, CC. :-))

Only offensive to those that find it so. Which is due to lack of understanding and truth.

Anyone writing ' mean ' or negative poems or leaving clever hints in comments about another poet is not considered nice.

Someone who deliberately tries to provoke and upset others. A troll, indeed. And they admire for many reasons. It's obvious. A lot of effort just to SHOW someone that you don't like them. Anyone that does that, well, it's a hate/love relationship for sure.

Definitely trolled, but now that you mentioned it Brandy, I bet they do admire him deep down. He is not afraid to speak his mind, and though they hate it, they really love it.

Trolled or admired, that is the question. It's all in how you view it/and understand the mindset.

Some memories are painful and you try to block them out. We all know that's difficult sometimes. My best to you, Arlo. BL

Indeed it is difficult but healthy to keep perspective. Trolls troll, character shines a bright light. Thx, Noble Friend.
