Words - A Poem By: Dave

 WORDS


Some people speak real eloquent
Use words that don’t fit me

Some may call my writing simple
Being true to myself is all that I can be

I speak straight from the heart
In the good times and the bad

Everything that you read
Is a feeling that I have

I don’t make things up
That’s just not my style

Those with that imagination
Are better writers by a mile

I love to read the fantasy
Others put down on a page

I could probably tap into that side
Had I started at an earlier age

For now I’ll just be me
Write what’s on my mind

The one I share my poems to
Has always been so kind

I write my words as therapy
To sort through everything

The ones that bring on the tears
And the ones that make my heart sing

Whatever is your reason
Your story or your why

As long as it means something to you
Keep reaching for the sky!!

Expressed and written very well I know I relate to writing for healing for sorting out thoughts. Once it's written then unsure about showing and having it publicly available scary until it is posted

I hear you on the the sharing it part. When I first went public with my blog I was so damn worried about so many things and aspects that I almost faltered. I am so glad that I finally stood up to some of my fears and did what my heart really wanted me to do. This is a safe haven here, we are a community of no judgment, and I am so proud of us all! Every last one of us! Gosh, I wish a couple of you were here for me to to hug around the neck and share in person just how proud I am of each of us and look how far we have all come with our writing skill in jus a few short months....I am mean.......when I really just stop and sit and think.....wow.....I am near bursting....like a proud mama bear! (And yes....I know how corny that sounds but just let me have it this one time please! LOl) I Love all of you guys that have contributed to the success of this blog! You are my family and I love each and every one of you!!!! Thank YOU!!!!!!!! ❤️🥲❤️❤️🥲🥲❤️

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
