To My Harasser

You have spent so much energy and time
Trying to see, follow, harass and be me
You have forgotten to be you

We run from you 
Because there is something so powerfully off
We are fearful 

You might have an assault rifle
We would not be surprised
Your behavior has alarmed many

Please know that we are all aware
Which does not make you
Any less scary 

This obsession you have to 
Follow me, harass me, badger me, bully me
Is truly frightening

Assuring me that you are capable of much more
I have given you social cues, but you are not getting them
Your obsession with me overriding any socialization skills you might have once had

Please remember to be you
And leave me alone
For once.
