THE MISCONCEPTION OF KINDNESS

Image
  Canva AI Image The Misconception Of Kindness Why do people assume, my kindness is a weakness? Just because I’m nice doesn’t mean I’m full of meekness. I will always be protective, of those for which I care. I won’t allow a single one to get caught in your snare. I would’ve given my last dime, but you chose to deceive. You filled me with so many lies. You thought I would believe. I guess you thought no matter what, that we would always stay. But we’re coming to a reckoning, and it’s YOU leaving today. I’ve met your kind so many times and I won’t let you tear us down. I’m stronger now and I’m the one who will straighten out our crowns. I won’t let you near them. No matter what the cost. In the end it’s you who loses, for there’s nothing that we’ve lost. You call us names; nerd, geek and loser and expect us just to take it. But I’ve raised my son to know right from wrong, and your cycle? We’re gonna break it! I’ve packed your bags, your car is full and you’d better start walking out...

AN ACT OF TREASON

Image
Canva AI Image An Act Of Treason   You’re not going to change my mind I won’t understand the reason For the way that you just spoke to me Was it’s own kind of treason I guess I should be saying thanks You showed me the real you I no longer think that you’re the guy That I once thought I knew You tried so hard to tear me down But it had the opposite effect The one and only thing I learned Is that you’re a man I don’t respect To hold my heart is a privilege One you don’t deserve The only thing you’ll get from me Is on my last damn nerve There’s nothing you can do or say To change my point of view I’m pretty sure you’ve figured out That the two of us are through You thought my love was a given  But it has to be earned So watch me as I drive away On the bridge that you just burned Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 5.23.2025

SING INTO THE SILENCE

Image
  Canva AI Image Sing Into The Silence Sing into the silence. To help end all the violence. Your voice needs to be heard. Speak your truth with every word. Always  stand up and stand tall. Even when your back’s against the wall. Be proud. Don't be afraid. Get on your path if you have strayed. Be strong when others are not able. Help them to become more stable. Don’t ever give up the fight. You can help to make things right. Spread your light upon this earth. By showing others what they’re worth. With the inner flame you always bring. Remember in the silence, it’s okay to sing. Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 4.30.2025

THE REAL ERYN LEA

Image
  Canva AI Image The Real Eryn Lea I’m walking forward I’m standing tall I embrace the climb And not the fall I’m becoming stronger Setting myself free From the hurt and the pain And the anxiety Step by step Inch by inch My trauma’s no longer Making me flinch I take each lesson And I learn To laugh each time It starts to burn To finish this path Might take me years But I’m wading through All of my fears And one day soon I’ll be the genuine me And I’ll introduce you to The real Eryn Lea Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 4.28.2025

VERBAL VENOM (Possible Trigger Warning)

Image
  Canva AI Image VERBAL VENOM (Possible Trigger Warning) Can I ask you a question? Will you tell me the truth? I don’t mean to sound crazy Or come off as aloof. But someone in my life Is very abusive. What I’m about to say Might seem slightly intrusive. They are wearing me down. I don’t want to be near it. Their energy’s negative. I wish I could clear it. They learned the abuse From their own childhood. But the trauma their inflicting Cannot be withstood. They don’t hit.. only yell To them it’s an improvement. Rather than ending the cycle They continued the movement. They blame it on us. Say it’s all our fault. We can’t take much more Of this verbal assault. The tears that I cried From just yesterday. So much hate in the words That they choose to say. I’m a bitch, I’m a cow I’m a failure at life. No wonder no one Ever made me their wife. My son is so lazy And getting too fat. I’m a bad mom Who created a brat. I finally lost it Couldn’t take any more . Found my inner voice Replicate...

THINK TWICE

Image
Think Twice You think that you can break me? I'm stronger than I look. However you’re a narcissist, Off the pages of a book. One of us will lose this fight. I promise it's not me. I won’t be your punching bag. Nor a victim, willingly. I feel bad for all the others, That you got to first. Knowing that’s how you get off, Quenching your sick thirst. I have all their backs.  I’ll fight for each and every one. I’m giving you a head start, So boy, you’d better run. I promise I will catch you.  And it’s you that’s going down. You don’t deserve to be a king. I’m gonna strip you of your crown.    We are not scared of you, So boy, you had better think twice. Because in the end it’s gonna be you, That will always pay the price. Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 2.17.2025

MY SALVATION

MY SALVATION The way my wrist was held so tight Has left a permanent abrasion Each day I cake my makeup on No matter the occasion You get mad at me throughout the day If I make the smallest deviation No longer allowed to go to work I no longer have an occupation You made me think that I’m unworthy You are a master of manipulation I’m only allowed to build you up You require constant stimulation It use to be love but now it’s fear That causes my heart a palpitation  I want my life and story back You’re no longer allowed to do the narration I need help and I need it now I want out of this situation In the end, it’s you going down Because I’m backed by the entire nation By the kindness of strangers and with my God I have finally found my salvation Karma will find you and you will pay  With a fiery eternal damnation * If you are a victim of Domestic Violence, please call the hotline at 1-800-799-7233. www.thehotline.org You are not alone. At the very least reach out to me, and I w...

LOVE WON'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE

LOVE WON’T LIVE HERE ANYMORE I gave you all my trust and love  You had it from the start I thought I knew all I needed to And that you’d protect my heart I can’t believe I failed yet again This is my biggest regret How could I not have seen through you At that point, we'd not yet met But when our hands fit together perfectly Mine wrapped in yours, just like a glove I knew that all my doubts were wrong  And that this was true love I pushed aside the warnings  And the few bright red and neon flags I kept it in the back of my mind Like that voice that always nags And later on that little voice  Would try to talk to me in bed I’d shake it off, laugh to myself And block out all she said At 49 I still want to think Love is real, and not a myth You don’t know, until you bare love's scars From all that you’ve dealt with I don’t know if I have any pieces of my heart left After losing so damn much I no longer care if I’m all alone Or ever feel another person’s touch How I ever...

A GIRL AND HER CROWN

  A GIRL AND HER CROWN I wish I could see myself through your eyes, The wonder and awe that you can’t disguise. Your love is so pure and I’m so undeserving, Wait…your love, so intense…that it’s almost unnerving. You’re always watching me now and controlling my days, I can never break free from your dark wicked gaze. But I’ll run out that door and never turn back, Escaping from you and your constant attack. You made me fall hard…feel so safe and secure, The love that you showed me…so fierce but a lure. Then like day turns to night or the lights turn back on, Your love became evil…so twisted and wrong. After building us up you started tearing me down, You wanted a prisoner…not a girl and her crown. Well I’m not a weak woman so let that sink in, You want to play games? Oh I know that I’ll win. I’ve dated your type and it’s hardened my heart, Made me so strong I can tear you apart. When I’m done with you…when I take you down, You’ll no longer be able to take anyone’s crown. Original Po...

Your Scars - A Poem By Dave

YOUR SCARS   Copyright (c) 2.7.2025 You hide behind the scars Left behind by other men Vow never to be open Scared pain will come again The hurt that they created Cut you to the core Made you decide to face this world Alone forever more. You came into my life Or I came into yours We connected through your words Neither knowing what was in store. Quickly sharing our stories Of life and loves gone by The bond it came so easily We didn’t have to try I got to know the person The mirror couldn’t see Those scars others made Look like beauty marks to me All the good and all the bad That led us up to here Made you the person I adore With the heart I hold so dear I can’t hide the love I have for you And the person that you are All pieces and the cracks I even love your scars Poetry Written By: Dave Poetry Published By: Eryn Dunbar

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 Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 1.28.2025  

I GAVE YOU MY TRUST

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 - A Poem By: Dave

  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

TAKING BACK MY POWER

  Taking Back My Power I’ve learned to shield myself Because it’s always me who pays The pain that you inflicted Your words and wicked ways But the longer that I’m shielded The less that I feel weak Now you can’t attack me With the evil that you speak I’m no longer the victim And I’m taking back my power Stepped out of those shadows That I used to hide and cower Embraced my inner goddess And I have found my voice But some people are so broken And thought they had no choice I will help these people For them I’ll take the stand Give them back their dignity With the justice I’ll demand I’ll show them that they matter Straighten out their crown Lift them up so high No one can ever tear them down But in their spark I see fire We’ll reignite the flame Teach them how to move on Shedding all their shame I might not be able to give them back The years that they have lost But I will fight their abusers No matter what the cost Poetry Written By: Eryn Dunbar Copyright 12.2024
