Somewhere out there~

0 posted 2003-07-25 10:25 AM




I come to places on the net
I have to hide my name
I don't come to hurt, or harm.
Not even do I want to maim.
You say I should move on.
That's what i've done
But,
Why do you still follow me?
It's you that casts this shadow,
Why won't you leave me be?
I change my name not from shame
But for anonymity.
For things unseen, that you have done
I am the one on the run?
Why can't I use my own name?
I know what's true, and
In truth and honesty
I don't have shame.
So just let me be me!!!!!
Why were you once so nice
then turned so horribly cruel?
I saw two of you,
You were so very dual.
I have asked so many times
Please forgive...
please let's make a truce.
Why couldn't we just leave as friends?
Even if we were an incompatible blend,
Why did you want a bitter end?

You should never change your name to run away. Damn them if they make you feel that way, but I know that happens a lot...

"A rose by any other name..."

Remember that quote?  If changing your name keeps you safe, it is worth it..

Stay safe and happy, and keep writing!

SharaRose~
You are perhaps too, too kind~
Let NO ONE make you feel this way !!!

Me ???  I'd ignore those who would be cruel and concentrate on being who I am ... and writing more and more and more !!

SharaRose,

Please take care. Your words ring familar. I have a friend who had the same problem.  She changed her name too.  Better to be safe!

Thanks to you all. I appreciate your words of concern.

Jordyn05- Thank you for the visit.

Susan--Thank you so much for encouraging me to keep writing. Thank you for the kind words of being a rose by any name. You are sweet person to see the real me inside.

Earth Angel- I got a lump in my throat when I read your words. I appreciate more than words can say what you said...that I am among friends now, and that I am appreciated.
You would have to know the *whole* story to know why that means so much to me. Bless you much for the kindness.

Kaoru- Thank you for the well wishes. Bless ya for the read, and concern.

Marge-- I will take your advice. For whatever reason cruel things being said to me weren't that I questioned myself, but that I don't like the hurtful things said and the feeings it leaves, and the crying that would drain me from the hurt. I would not be CRUEL to people no matter what I think they have done wrong. I would not say things that would crush them as a deliberate act. I think there are ways to settle things without crushing someones spirit within. Cruelty. There is no excuse.

BC- Thanks so much for the concern and for the read. Thanks for stopping to comment as well.

Patricia- Thank you for the concern, and I am so sorry your friend has exp'd this. My heart goes out to her. I hope things are going better for her.

QjQ- Thanks for your thoughts.

HUGS to all,
SharaRose @-->--
