I CHOOSE

I Choose


People ask me why I’m single
I say that’s how I choose to live
Why stay in a relationship
Where you’re the only one to give
Always being attacked and then
Expected to forgive
I’m sorry, but that’s not a life
I’d ever want to live

I choose to stay single
I don’t like to feel lost
In relationships I have
Always been double crossed
Must protect myself
No matter the cost
I’m on my own path
Where I never get lost

So being single in this life
Is what I’ve embraced
Never have to worry
About being replaced
Handling everything
No matter what I have faced
Don’t judge me for this life
That I have now embraced

People ask me why I’m single
I say it’s how I want to live
I choose this path because
I have nothing left to give
If I stay single
Then there’s no one to forgive
So let me enjoy this life
That I now love to live

Thank you, Melvin. I know it's different for each of us. I just wish I had more luck with love like all these other blessed souls. I want to feel that healthy kind of relationship that those particular people share. I'm so happy for them and in turn, their love gives me hope that I will be able to experience this one day too! 🤞🏼❤️🤗

No matter what I've held on to hope even when seems like I won't have love again the pain is that I feel half my best, half alive, half lost, half as good with half the worth. Half the worth full time good ppl with great minds and hearts want to be my friend nothing else then the ones want to know me aren't anyone I'd share a table at McDonald's with but I'd but them them food there but with all the yrs alone someone joked I should use the service for practice. My morals are different and I can't. There's one and waiting because if I jump around I'm not the type to look around and I'd miss the opportunity to say I'm glad to have you in my life

Honestly, I think it’s been so many years now, since I was in a relationship that I no longer remember what to miss about being in one. And I have my son so I’m not left with much time to feel lonely. But I wish you felt like you were ‘enough’ on your own. I don’t like that you feel like you need to have someone else around to feel complete. In my eyes, you ARE enough. ♥️

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
