I prioritize mental health over virtual mind games, dear soupers, thank you for giving me a space where kindness is appreciated and love is celebrated, jealousy a forgotten dialect. A gentle reminder to myself, always block anyone or anything that disrupts the ongoing construction of inner peace, nothing personal, just a necessary progress from my space, against any sort of harassment!

~ O grid of boundaries ~ graffiti bleeds from half-spoken lies running cold with trending mind-games digital memes, caught in white-noise as fingers ~ trapped in electric taps ~ ghost binary t h r e a t s …

IE, you only bring joy and sweetness to this site. It's nice if we can all be kind to each other. It costs nothing really. Sending smiles and hoping all threats disappear. This is supposed to be fun and it certainly should be. You make it so.

This is really interesting. You delved into the computable mind of madness, something like that. Loved it

Fantastic poem, dearest Ink, about the digital age of negativity and harassment, poetry highlights mental wellness. It underlines the need for limits for inner harmony and community. Digital interactions' effects on mental health, the need for personal boundaries, and the celebration of kindness and love above jealousy and hate are all covered. Modern readers will relate to the poem's use of "mental wellness," "mind games," and "digital memes" language. The phrases "gentle reminder" and "ongoing creation of inner serenity" are mild yet determined. Many lights sent your way

Just this week I read several poems written to disparage or ridicule fellow poets. Revenge poetry? My resolve is twofold: never to write a nasty poem about anyone no matter how many buttons they push and at the same time, never to be afraid to express what I believe or stand for just bc someone might not like it or agree. In any case, sorry if you've been hurt. We appreciate you!!

Block town, that's the place that should be slated for demolition. Ink... when a big bad wolf comes around, let him/her huff and puff, but keep your door closed to them and your inner peace will not be affected. Claws on a keyboard try to be cruel but can't scratch you if you distance yourself ~ emotionally. Some couldn't care less about crossing boundaries so they can tap tap tap all they like, and they won't hurt you.

Sigh, I could feel so many heartfelt emotions and poetic depth through your brilliantly evocative write! It has decoded all those traits of toxicity that lay buried within this virtual world! But unfortunately, they are indeed like those half-spoken lies as you've described! Being destructive in their essence and encrypted within crudely cold behavior, that can disturb anyone's mental peace... I really love how you've written everything here, from your heart. "O grid of boundaries ~ graffiti bleeds from half-spoken lies", "digital memes, caught in white-noise", "ghost binary threats" I can quote the whole poem!! It's just beyond outstanding! Keep writing and shining always hun, your poetry is indeed like a cathartic experience of one's soul! Sending you love and light always!!

Dearest Soul, yourpoem is raw and powerful—like a snapshot of digital warfare where whispers turn into walls and lies are etched in electric stone. The way you captured the suffocating grip of technology and the weight of manipulation is both haunting and profound. Your words resonate with anyone who's ever felt cornered by unseen hands. Stay strong, your voice is sharp and brave....Hugs and Light

So much is said in so few lines. The imagery in “fingers ~ trapped in electric taps ~ ghost binary threats” captures the harsh reality of cyberbullying, while “graffiti bleeds from half-spoken lies” particularly struck a chord with me. As Maya Angelou once said, “Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but has not solved one yet.” Your poem is a striking reminder of that truth, sis. One cannot overstate the importance of setting boundaries—our peace of mind is truly priceless. Another fav

sis, you know it, iv seen it all before, again, ridiculed for the emotions iv expressed in my poems; and how i write and low key throwing insults; in so many ways, how is this healthy? How is that kind? Maya Angelou knows best, and we rise, together against unkind behavior!

Boundaries are necessary to protect one's fragile heart that seeks light and kindness from cruelty, and it is so good to find peace among soupers who want to be gracious and kind. Very well written Ink, words of wisdom <3
