EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL

-
I don't like manipulative people
I don't take kindly to a threat

Or emotional blackmail
From people I've just met

So please just take your leave
I'll forever shut the door

You won't get another chance
Because I will not keep a score

You only get one opportunity
To make a first impression

You just blew your shot
And now you'll learn your lesson 

I've met your type before
I won't tolerate it again

I've forever locked you out
You will not be getting in

I'm just fine without you
You won't get access to my life

You tried to shove it in real deep
I'm tossing out your knife

So adios and farewell
You will no longer be seeing me

I'm so sick of fake people
And their damn treachery

As hard as these lessons hit being true to yourself with your head held high hits even harder. The right one is waiting for the scraps of the betrayers to barely be a memory then he'll appear clear and bright

I’m pretty sure that I should just keep my boundaries up and in place and focus on myself and my son instead of trying to make everyone else happy.

THE PATH TO MY HEART

The Path To My Heart I gave you a map. It led straight to my heart. But you took the paper, And ripped it apart. Did I walk away? No, I lived in the lie. I gave you more chances. I thought you would try. But I guess that my map, Just leads to heartbreak. A pain so damn deep, A chasm of ache. So I’ve made a new map. One just for me. No twists to avoid. It will make me happy. I’ll follow this path. And I’ll take every turn. Till the pain is all gone. And I don’t feel the burn. And I'll reclaim my power. I'll reclaim my light. And I'll finally remember, That I'm worth the fight. Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 7.9.2025

FOOL'S GOLD

  FOOL'S GOLD Never again You won’t see my face The way you treat others Is such a disgrace Your essence is toxic Your lips drip with lies You’re selfish and hateful Beneath your disguise You’re like a fungus A spore or black mold You think you’re a gem But you’re just fool’s gold You’re made up of layers But even snakes shed their skin You’re not only noxious You’re the eighth deadly sin It took at most months And not several years To see how you prey Upon everyone’s fears You find out their secrets Then laugh as you share Breaking their hearts They just laid out bare But here’s a little something  I guess you didn’t know Those others you talk to See how you dim their glow They like themselves more Than they’ll ever like you They’ll have long walked away Before you’ll have your first clue So go wear your charm And spin your tall tales The ship that I’m on Has long set its sails Now I’ve risen up And I’ve slammed the door I won't allow you to imprint On my life  ANYMORE O...

THE TRUTH OF LOVE

-
Image
  The Truth Of Love Love means giving someone freedom While nurturing your bond And although it is magical It’s not made with a wand It isn’t built on fairy dust Or sealed with just a kiss It takes deep roots and daily care To grow a love like this It’s not control or ownership It’s not a silent war Real love will never cage your wings It will only help you soar It holds you close, yet lets you breathe It lifts, but doesn’t bind It sees your flaws and loves you still With honesty that’s kind It won’t be perfect every day And sometimes it feels tough But even through the hard and raw You’ll know that it’s enough So if you find a heart like this That helps you rise above Then hold it close, and honor it You’ve found the truth of love Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 8.21.2025
