NEVER AGAIN

NEVER AGAIN


Not even once
Or never again
I won’t fall for your lies
I won’t let it happen
Gonna fight my way out
Gonna set myself free
You’re a rabbit hole
I won’t go down willingly
Once, shame on you
Twice, shame on me
No ifs, ands, or buts
No I guess, or maybe
No second chance
But for you, not a first
We haven’t even dated
Yet I can tell you’re the worst
So go somewhere else
Please leave me alone
You remind me of others
I have already known
I won’t allow you in
So turn and walk away
There’s nothing you can do
No words that you can say
I’m an adult
You’re a man child
Your type of poison
Has never come mild
So just turn around
Walk back to your car
The only place I want to see you 
Is from afar

Eryn's "Never Again" is a powerful poem of self-empowerment and resilience! The stanzas hit hard with their unapologetic stance, drawing a firm line against toxic influences. I love how the poem captures that moment of clarity when you realize someone's no good for you and you refuse to let them drag you down. The repetition of "not even once" and "never again" really drives home the determination, while lines like "You're a rabbit hole I won't go down willingly" paint such a vivid picture of dodging emotional chaos. It’s raw, it’s bold, and it’s got this fierce energy that makes you want to cheer for whoever’s breaking free.

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
