Bullying

The following poem is about the internal impact of bullying.

Erosion
By Ginger Hinson

Word flames scorch.
The serpentine tongue
Painfully licking vulnerability.
The ego's wall thickens

Barrier's perimeter extends
To contain the internal
Seepage as it dissolves,
Eroding esteem from within

A forcefield permeates,
Covering, hiding truths,
Fending off fire's bite,
Separating from the onslaught

Reputation

Recently, I've seen many people in the media lose their reputations. I imagined what it would feel like and wrote the following poem.

Tangled
By Ginger Hinson

The dis-repair of my psych
My reputation shatters
Misguided by society's expectations
Leading to destruction's chaos

Receptors distorted by noise
That's forever babbling
With frothy nonsensical chatter.
Tangled morals become remorse

Another poem

The following is a poem about politics and people not getting along.

Politics
By Ginger Hinson

Pervert station, Sinister ideas
Of the universe converge
Infiltrating the soul and
Feeding the iniquities of
The World's perceptions

Dark matter inside seeps into
Forbidden places, recesses
Too deep... Light can't penetrate
Foreshadowing the future
Impacting the cosmic flow

Should a spark ignite
Would it, could it be enough
To cast away the dank suspicions
That intertwine in society?
Can humanities flame erupt,

Combust into a fire of change
Purging the black ice from
Our hearts? A steel of
Understanding to build a bridge
Erasing hatred and despair.

Poems

Disconnect
By Ginger Hinson

Electronic succubus,
Thief of time
Filling the emptiness
With False connections
That leaves a void,
A black hole to
Cipher the soul,
The self, into oblivion.



Internal
By Ginger Hinson

Classified thoughts
Too secret to reveal
Churn within the complex
Known as imagination

The Breakup

The Breakup
By Ginger Hinson

Falling memories
Through the misty sighs
The dark night speaks,
Resonates with secrets.

Shivers dance
Cascading over the body
The essence of thought
Reverberates, flows, awakens

Senses heightened
Identities fleetingly unite
Then separateness overtakes.
The bond fades, numbness remains.
