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.
