FINDING ME

-
I have no idea of who I am
Or who I am meant to be 

I don't want to ask for any help
I will find myself eventually

Please just let me start to look
As I embark on my self healing journey

I am ready to go exploring now
Who knows what I will see

I am out on an expedition
Alone but not lonely

Trying to find out who I am
I don't want to be another phony

Looking through my mind
Mastering fate, if I can only

Searching through my thoughts
and painful memories

I found what I am looking for
I knew it instantly

I've embraced my inner tomboy
But need to be more womanly

I've never before found happiness
But maybe I have finally

I knew that this time would come
And the truth would set me free

I have found out who I really am
I have finally found the real me

Your poem captures a profound journey of self-discovery and healing. It illustrates a personal quest for identity, authenticity, and inner peace, which resonates with many who are navigating their own paths of self-realization.

Self-Exploration:
The poem expresses a strong desire for independence in this journey, emphasizing a preference for solitude ("Alone but not lonely") which can often lead to genuine self-discovery without external influence.

Authenticity:
There's a clear rejection of pretense ("I don't want to be another phony"), highlighting the importance of being true to oneself rather than conforming to societal expectations or roles.

Healing and Acceptance:
The exploration of "painful memories" and the subsequent finding of what was sought suggest a process of healing through confronting and understanding one's past. The acknowledgment of embracing both the 'tomboy' and the need to be 'more womanly' speaks to an acceptance of personal complexities and contradictions.

Resolution and Joy: The poem ends on a note of revelation and joy, suggesting that the journey, though solitary, has led to a meaningful personal transformation and the discovery of one's true identity ("I have finally found the real me").

Your words convey a universal human experience of seeking to understand oneself amidst life's complexities, celebrating the moment of clarity and self-acceptance as a form of liberation ("the truth would set me free"). It's a poignant reminder of the beauty and challenge of personal growth, encouraging others who might be on similar paths.

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

  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
