  Taking Back My Power I’ve learned to shield myself Because it’s always me who pays The pain that you inflicted Your words and wicked ways But the longer that I’m shielded The less that I feel weak Now you can’t attack me With the evil that you speak I’m no longer the victim And I’m taking back my power Stepped out of those shadows That I used to hide and cower Embraced my inner goddess And I have found my voice But some people are so broken And thought they had no choice I will help these people For them I’ll take the stand Give them back their dignity With the justice I’ll demand I’ll show them that they matter Straighten out their crown Lift them up so high No one can ever tear them down But in their spark I see fire We’ll reignite the flame Teach them how to move on Shedding all their shame I might not be able to give them back The years that they have lost But I will fight their abusers No matter what the cost Poetry Written By: Eryn Dunbar Copyright 12.2024

  Covered In Light Sometimes I just feel lost Like I am all alone In spite of all the kindness And love that I’ve been shown And that is okay To feel like this sometimes What I do to heal Is to put my thoughts in rhyme It makes me feel better I no longer feel afraid I’m covered in light I can step out of the shade Life can be good But I can still feel down Writing is the only way I can straighten my own crown This is what works for me So thankful that I found A way to fill me up with joy To bring me back around So when you get lost And nothing seems real Pick up a pen and paper And see how good you feel Poetry Written By: Eryn Dunbar

  Return To Myself No matter what I can’t break free From the occasional feeling Of my misery I try to fight it  Then the feeling takes hold  I lose all my warmth I only feel cold When this happens I have to ride out the wave I desperately need The warmth that I crave And like a tide turning I return to myself This is one way I suffer With my mental health But I’ll be alright I’m always okay I’ve learned to just take it All day by day That no matter what Or how I might feel I will always come back Because I choose to heal Poetry Written By: Eryn Dunbar

  Sticks And Stones Sticks and stones might  break your bones But words will leave a deeper scar Inflicting pain on all they touch No matter who you are So be careful with what you decide to say And how it might make a person feel Once they’re said, there is no going back And some of us might not ever heal Words, they are so powerful And can be more deadly than a knife You never know how much harm they’ll cause Or how they can ruin someone’s life So please be kind and thoughtful With the words you choose to say It’s not only the person you share them with That in the end, might have to pay Poetry Written By: Eryn Dunbar

You Are Not Alone Do you ever feel overwhelmed Beat down and defeated No matter what, you can’t wake up  Your energy’s depleted You run around all day long And nothing gets completed You try to share kindness and love But always get mistreated Well I’m here to say, you’re not the only one We can all relate Not everyday will feel like that Some will be so great Just take a breath and try not to Overfill your plate Try your best to not get stuck In that mental state Remind yourself that I am here When feeling double crossed I have always got your back I’ll find you when you’re lost I’ll do my best to lift you up No matter what the cost I’ll warm your heart and comfort you You will never feel the frost Living is hard for all of us When we try it on our own Plant the seeds and remind yourself How much your life has grown We all get scared of our future There’s so much still unknown It’s okay to feel this way, just don’t forget  YOU ARE NOT ALONE Poetry Written By: Eryn Dunbar ...

  Elevated I have entered a new phase of existence I am truly elevated Enjoying my personal growth  And this new space I created Embracing myself with open arms Accepting the broken parts of me Trying this latest version out While expressing love more honestly Why it has taken me so long To realize how great I really am Not caring now what others think I'm a lion, not a lamb I never knew that this was what Happiness was all about Working on my mental health Shedding light on all my doubt So thankful for this new emergence I'm celebrating joyfully Grabbing hold of my inner goddess Made all my demons flee Writing about my own trauma And how I no longer fear it Has empowered me with energy And a stronger sense of spirit I have never felt so much peace before I was feeling underrated So much for me to process  But now truly liberated And by releasing all negativity Back into the atmosphere My heart is full of gratitude  And not with crippling fear Uncovering that you're ...

  MY OWN BRAND OF GRACE Proud of the woman I’ve become I'm not easily going to break I'm braver than I ever was  And I’m spiritually awake Not fragile nor am I delicate Though once I was so weak Finally found my inner voice No longer scared to speak Look how far I’ve made it On this journey I call life Your words now hold no power Although once cut like a knife Yes, you knocked me down a notch Blamed me for what went wrong But I built myself back up again I’ve never been this strong I’m a better version of myself than I ever thought I’d see If my inner child were here  She’d be smiling back at me So yes, I’m proud of who I am And no matter what I face I’ll be able to handle it With MY own brand of grace Poetry Written By: Eryn Dunbar

  STRAWBERRY SNOWFLAKES Strawberry snowflakes And green mistletoe The essence of Christmas And that warm inner glow Shopping for family Gifts wrapped with love Putting in effort To always rise above Early morning coffee Around the roaring fires Sharing personal triumphs And childhood desires Staring at their faces Or watching burning embers Helps you to remember A lifetime of Decembers So relish the green mistletoe And strawberry snowflakes Creating new memories Enjoying Christmas pancakes Treasure every moment Bundled up in each other Make sure to hug the neck of  Your sister and brother Strawberry snowflakes And green mistletoe From my family to yours Let the warmth and love flow Poetry Written By: Eryn Dunbar

I’m just sitting here and wondering if other people’s thoughts run through their head like how they do in mine. Mine are always in a rhyming pattern and honestly, sometimes it’s a little annoying. I can really get on my own nerves because of this. It’s overwhelming and often too much for my ADD brain to handle. Lol Or maybe you have a different process that you experience. I’d love to know what it is.  Also, I was wondering if anyone had something in particular that they would like for me to write about. No, I’m not out of ideas and I doubt that I ever will be. But if you would like to put something into words and just don’t know how to do it or lack the desire, I’d love to try and help you express it. It would be an honor for me to do that for someone. Or even if you just have a subject, topic or experience that I haven’t written about yet, and you’d like to test my imagination and ability, that would be pretty cool too. It could be a private piece that I only write and share with...

RABBIT HOLE My life is falling all around me It’s like I'm stuck in a rabbit hole. I'm trying to crawl out of it But I have no control. I might need someone's help If I’m getting out of here. I feel like I am trapped inside Which just adds to all my fear. You have mentioned once before  That y ou will always have my back. That you would always lift me up Anywhere that I might lack. Well I am definitely struggling And I need a helping hand. Just lean into my rabbit hole Reach down from where you stand. Please stretch your arms down to me I will pull myself up and out. When we’re both safely on the ground I’ll share what it’s about. Sometimes life gets to be too much More than I can take. And I need loyal friends to lean on  That have your back for friendship's sake. But with you I’m pretty sure I’ve got the best friend ever made. You were the real deal from the start  The kind of friend I'd never trade So thank you for always being here Every time I make those calls....

  The Tearing Down Of The Wicked With words you say you love me  But your actions tear me down I thought you knew when we first met This Lady proudly wears a crown I’m too strong for you to break  But still you continue to try I’m already walking out that door So consider this goodbye I’m not into dating narcissists Or men that practice their abuse On women they think are small and weak It’s your ego that will bruise Manipulation, backhanded remarks  Are just a couple ways you work You walk around, looking down And you always wear a smirk This ends here, this ends now I will not let you win What you’ve gotten away with  In my eyes is a sin To take a person’s spirit And try to shatter it like glass Shows what kind of man you are A man that has no class You seem to forget so easily That even broken glass can shine I radiate more than any jewel I emit the brightest glow from mine So for one last time, I’m telling you This is the end of your malicious reign You won’...

DON’T FORGET THEM I’m dancing with the devil That lives inside my head It turns the days of happiness Into sadness, fear, and dread Motivation will not happen Need to get out of this place Have to mitigate the damage Need a change of pace Surrounded by the despair Of folks with little hope Watching people fade away It’s sometimes hard to cope I try to remain strong Help the ones I can It hurts me to the core I’m just an ordinary man With nobody here to comfort them That job it falls on me To let them know that someone cares Show them some dignity Until the day I leave here I will take on many scars I watch over your loved one Until their flying in the stars It’s not the job I wanted Your absence made this true The loved one you forgot in here Only needed you Poetry Written By: Dave Poetry Published By: Eryn Dunbar

*Just to be clear... This poem is not based on factual events! I wrote it, I did not live it or experience it and I know no one who has. I do not condone this type of behavior in a relationship. I most certainly don't condone gun use in this way! Thank you and if I haven't scared you off already, please enjoy the poem! Lol* I CANNOT GET YOU OFF MY MIND I cannot get you off my mind You won’t release my heart How am I supposed to move on When I can’t stand that we’re apart Our love lives on in my dreams You consume all of my thoughts I’ve pulled off all of the rose petals And did the love me/love me nots I stalk you on your media page I drive by your house late at night How am I to carry on When I’m addicted to your sight I wake and there is still no call But in truth I barely sleep How am I supposed to move on When my feelings run this deep Show me how you do it You make it look so easy But the thought of no more you and I Just leaves me feeling queasy You walked out that door T...
