A pen name, 

hiding my name 

from being linked to all that 

I have ever written.

 

A fake identity,

protecting my thoughts,

masking my feelings,

concealing my pleasures,

from those I know.

 

A fictitious persona,

advertising my inner thoughts

as its own,

posting my shielded thoughts

for all to view.

 

A conflicted soul,

that sits behind the pen,

writing things such as these

behind a name

that is not 

her own.

I have posted to this website for years now. Always under some odd "screen name" to keep anyone from finding me in a Google search. That is the basis for this poem.
