Fighting To Thrive (A Poet’s Negative View On Life Some Days) Do you ever wonder why you even exist? Like you’re a punching bag and life is the fist? Can’t seem to break the cycle, no matter how hard you try. Surrounded by angry people who are quick to lie. I don’t want my depression to begin to resurface. Need to reevaluate myself and remember my purpose. But my nerves are shot, they’re about to break. No matter what I do , every move’s a mistake. Am I the only one that ever feels this way? That this life gets harder, day by day? It’s a struggle to remind myself that things will get better. When my eyes only seem to get wetter and wetter. But don’t worry about me. I will always survive. I just wondered if I was the only one that ever fought to thrive. Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 1.30.2025  

  WALK INTO YOUR FATE   It’s always been a dream That one day I would write The tale end of last year I started my own site   I finally realized What was to be the key I finally realized That the key had to be me   Maybe I won’t be big Or ever become well known But the outpouring of support That I have already been shown   Has truly changed my life And is more than I dreamed of Never been so happy To do something that I love   I found out I was what Was standing in my way So grateful I decided To start my blog that day   I’m living my own dream And know dreams can come true All you really need Is to have confidence in you   I was just so scared I had to get past my fear Now my life has meaning And my outlook is so clear   It took me half my life To get me to this place I’m never turning back This new life I will embrace   Thanks for believing in me Even when I couldn’t I was my biggest obstacle Telling myself I shouldn’t   I might n...

When I'm lost and alone, With nowhere to turn, It's you that I crave. And your touch that I yearn. But I can’t keep giving in. Every time I’m feeling weak.  Running back your way.  You aren’t the one that I should seek. Yes I remember the good.  But the bad always had more power.  When we very first met,  You’d call me a rare, beautiful flower. So why, if you loved me so deeply,  Did you always cause your rose to wilt? Our home wrapped in lies and deceit.  No basic fundamentals when it was built.  I know it’s a bad decision.   So why does it seem like it’s easy to make?  But after a lifetime of many wrongs,  I won’t allow another mistake.  And what am I missing exactly?  The fights, the yells, the screams?  No. I’m missing the you and the us. That existed in my dreams. And I know all of this!  Yet my heart still craves the past. When I’m at my lowest.  And since you were my last.  I guess that’s why....

  Our First Kiss The love that we share It is such bliss You had all of me At our first kiss I’ll never get enough Always wanting more Our love, so full of passion I feel it in my core I love all of you From your head down to your feet You are my whole world You make me complete The first time that we met I knew that this was real I’m so fortunate From all you make me feel You have become Someone I cannot resist Never knew that love Like this could exist If that day hadn’t happened Look at what we would have missed A lifetime of happiness From the first time that we kissed Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 1.27.2025

  WHY   An Original Poem By  Eryn Dunbar  Copyright (c) Jan 2025 Do you ever ask yourself the question of why? Why do it again? When each time you cry? Why do you always end up with that guy? Why? When they all have that smile that’s wry? Why even bother to attempt a retry? Why put yourself out there? They all seem to lie? Why? When it always end in goodbye? So I’ve finally stopped asking. The question of why. Poetry Written By: Eryn Dunbar (c)

  My Shine You ask me what is wrong I answer that I’m fine But truthfully I’m fading You drain me of my shine Although you seem sincere I don’t want your worry I’m gonna face it by myself I’m no longer in a hurry This has always been the battle And I have too much at stake To allow someone like you in  When you seem so fake This is to be my journey I will handle it on my own Even in the darkness I have to walk alone Desperately I’m trying I hope it’s not too late No matter what the outcome I’ll gladly accept my fate Of all the seeds I’ve planted Not one of them has grown My life is still a mystery So much left unknown People always tell me They see my inner glow Then try to steal my light And act like they don’t know So every time you ask me If I’m doing fine I’ll smile and say I’m okay I won’t let you dim my shine Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 1/22/2025

THE STORY OF OUR LIVES Original Poetry Written By  Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 1/22/2025 Our story might have just begun But it won’t have a tragic end Because when I first saw you I knew I’d met my new best friend  It’s only the second chapter In this story of our life You told me on our first date That I would become your wife Can’t believe it’s one year later And you’ve gotten down on bended knee Said, “It would be an honor, If you would marry me” We’re surrounded by friends and family As we stand before them and say I do Now our book will become a series  About an endless love that is so true Eryn Dunbar (c)  

Fated Mate If intentions make things happen I dreamt you into existence Knew you were the one When I saw you in the distance Already been a year Love this life we’re building I’m under your spell With the magic you are wielding My knight in shining armor With the body of a God If opposites' attract Then I’m the even to your odd My head’s in the clouds Your feet are on the ground If our love became a song Our passion would be the sound I have never known Or felt this way before Knew God answered prayers But mine he would ignore Now I know he heard me Just needed me to wait For us to close the distance You are my fated mate Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 1/21/2025

  Alt Image Above⬆️ MY ADD & ME - An Original Poem By Eryn Dunbar  Hey, it’s just me, Ole Eryn Lea. Trying to enjoy my morning coffee.  So scatterbrained, thanks to my ADD. Not able to focus. I'm barely awake. Not one thing completed, but I need a break. Unorganized thoughts . How much can I take? Gonna finish this poem, if it’s the last thing I make. I often wonder the reason I even try. The pens always poised, but the parchment is dry. I get so frustrated, I constantly sigh. Lately all I’m able to do is to cry. Can’t concentrate. I’m so out of control. Nothing gets done, It’s taking its toll. I even struggle with this motherhood role. And sometimes it feels like I’m fighting my soul. This is my life, every single day. I even battle with the words that I say. My ADD always likes to come out and play. I just wish once and for all, it would go away. Poetry Written By: Eryn Dunbar  Copyright (c) 1/18/2025

  Commander’s Fans  🏈 There’s nothing better than a sport that you love. Cheering them on as they rise above. Loving a team. You’re their biggest fan. Shouting and shrieking for them from the stands. Wearing their colors to show your support. Drinking a Beer as you toast to their sport. Holding your breath as they fumble the ball. Cursing the ref for making that call. Rooting them on as they’re living the dream. Come on Commanders! The number one team! Poetry Written By: Eryn Dunbar  Copyright (c) 1/19/2025

  MY FAVORITE SEASON   The spring is not yet in the air. But honestly, I do not care. I will happily enjoy the snow. Shut inside, no place to go. Give me a blanket and a book. I’ll sit in my chair. In my little nook. There’s nothing more I would desire. Than to read next to a roaring fire. No matter what, seasons change. So my life, I’ll rearrange. Each and every single time. But to me, it’s winter that’s sublime. Original Poetry Written By: Eryn Dunbar  Copyright (c) 1/18/2025

NEVER  When you’ve not been prioritized Always in second place Even when you address it They lie right to your face You want to believe them So you continue the same way When deep down inside You know your being played It’s always been the same The problem must be me I don’t know what I’m doing wrong Wish I could know what they see It’s lonely at the bottom Of everybody’s list If I just disappeared one day Would I even be missed I’m tired of the feeling That I will never be enough Try so hard to be the top Can’t seem to measure up One day I’ll step away From everything that’s been Search out a new place Where I can start again Until then I will ponder How my life would be If what I gave to others Had been given back to me Poetry Written By: Dave Poetry Published By: Eryn Dunbar

  Don’t Blink - An Original Poem By Eryn Dunbar ©️ I recently had someone say, “Don’t Blink”. The years pass by, faster than you think. He’ll be a teenager before you know it. Of course he still loves you. Just doesn’t show it. How is it possible? I’m both proud and depressed. We’re growing apart. It’s making me stressed. Want him to be self-reliant. But please still need me. Knowing that one day soon, I’ll end up lonely. Love watching him grow. He gives me a purpose. But then I am weak, when old memories resurface. Hard to loosen my grip and break this hold. He’s a teenager. I’m fifty years old. But I want him to succeed. I just want more time. I don’t think holding on is really a crime. I know I can do it. Where there’s a will there’s a way. I can get stronger, day by day. Will it be hard? Yes... No... Maybe. Because even when he’s grown, he will always be my baby. I look forward to the day when I can buy him a drink. But till that day comes, I just won’t blink. Poetry Written B...

An Open Book (Republished) You can’t judge a book by its cover Without reading a few pages This life that we’re blessed with Has many different stages But not everyone is able to Be an open book Sometimes you have to take More than just one look People need to know that They will always be offered grace Maybe to unlock their spirit They need to feel a warm embrace Kindness really matters And love is truly real Always try to show people How they make you feel Remember to express yourself With open honesty Show them that this world Is not just a novelty Let’s all try harder To spread love on this earth Sometimes people need a reminder Of what they’re really worth Poetry Written By: Eryn Dunbar ©️  

  Take The Chance If you stumble Make sure you dance Life is a journey Always take the chance Even small steps Take you in any direction Every opportunity Show love and affection Don’t just wish for it Work for it too When you try your hardest There’s nothing you can’t do Original Poetry Written By: Eryn Dunbar  Copyright (c) 1.16.2025

  A Journey And A Gift Don’t be scared of your trauma Be brave and finally face it Dreams can be reality  If only you will chase it And when opportunity presents itself  Be ready to embrace it Sadness can turn to happiness If you’re willing to replace it Life is a journey and a gift... Stop trying to outrace it Poetry Written By: Eryn Dunbar ©️

You were the one that I chose To help me to forget You took that knowledge, stored it away The first time that we met You chose cruelty every day  To slowly break my soul And I gave you my trust stupidly  And handed you control How I make so many bad choices When I'm a gifted and blessed empath Next time I consider falling in love I hope I will walk away and laugh You were to be the one who made me feel Like I truly mattered Fixed up my life, helped me to trust Instead I sit here, all but shattered I think this is actually just what I needed For my mental health I don’t need anyone anymore I can heal all by myself I believe I’m better off now Being on my own Love is still something I desire Just not the kind I have been shown So thank you pain, thank you heartache I’m starting to finally heal Honestly, this is the best   I have ever been blessed to feel I blow a kiss to my old life We will forever part our ways And I look proudly to my future That will be filled with...

  BURN When hurt turns into anger For the person that you loved It’s time to stand and fight This time there will be no gloves You thought that I would take it Keep turning the other cheek Because I gave you the power You assumed that I was weak I tried get along Walk away and begin anew You ran my name into the dirt I should have expected that from you All the secrets that I’ve kept About who you really are The lies and manipulation I’m sharing near and far Your dirty little secrets I will share with other men Do my best to keep you From doing this again The list names left broken They litter your life’s path You get some sick enjoyment When others feel your wrath Your chance to play is over Now I’ll take my turn I’m lightning your world on fire I will smile and watch it burn Poetry Written By: Dave Poetry Published By: Eryn Dunbar

I filled buckets as if from the skies Rubbing shaking hands over bloodshot eyes Drowning.in the pearlescent drops They flow they flow as if it never stops But as each day passes I feel the flow end My heart, my soul, my being is on the mend I know time has been my enemy but now I embrace She no longer stalks me, she no longer gives chase I walk beside her reflecting on memories Time is my companion now, no longer enemies So I shed fewer tears Wake up with fewer fears Pray for understanding and for grace For in his hands I do place All the tears and all my sorrow Will be a little less come tomorrow No more tears can I cry For I save the last one that final goodbye No more tears can I cry Poetry Written By: Carlos Antonio Maxwell Sr 1/14/25 Poetry Published By: Eryn Dunbar

Look How Far You’ve Come Look how far you’ve come You’ve made it so far Proudly wearing your pain And all of your scars No longer bottling things up You’ve opened the jars Head and eyes looking up As you reach for the stars I’m so proud of you What a blessing you are Look how far you’ve come With all you’ve been through In my eyes there’s nothing That you can’t do Working on yourself Now the best version of you Expanding your mind Broadening your view Accepting your flaws To yourself being true Look how far you’ve come Knowing life won’t always be fair Letting each other in And all that we’ll share Allowing me to see you Laying your heart bare Finally realizing That I will always care And learning that I Will forever be there Poetry Written By: Eryn Dunbar ©️
