The Imposter Healer See that reserved, soft smile? The one she always wears? Well, even when it’s muted, Every person stops and stares. They think, “Oh, she’s got it easy.” “Her life must be so good.” But things have always gone sideways, More often than they should. That smile’s a piece of armor, A sliver of disguise. A way to keep up appearances, So no one hears her cries. You cannot see the scars, That others like to cause. But that girl who’s standing there, Deserves our deep applause. And here I’m left to wonder… Could she ever even know? With eyes that shine so bright with love, To me she’s a hero. She’s such a loving creature, With the biggest, kindest heart. But one after another, They’ve torn it all apart. Yet people come to her for help, Drawn to her brilliant, golden light. But she’s left feeling like a fraud. Alone, she fights her fears each night. How can someone who’s shattered, Help other people heal? Her thoughts become distorted. She forgets what’s even real. She feels...

  THE KEY I can’t stop my tears, Why am I crying? I feel like my spirit, Is slowly dying. The weight of my sorrow, Is heavy, unkind. It burrows so deeply. Through soul and through mind. Yet somewhere within me, A whisper remains. That even through heartache, There’s strength in my veins. So let the tears fall, They’re part of the fight, For healing is born, From embracing the light. And though I feel broken, I still hold the key. To rise from this darkness, And set my soul free. The dawn will remind me, That shadows don’t last. Hope blooms in ashes, Of pain that has passed. For deep in my spirit, A bright flame did survive. So I might still be grieving… But I’m learning to thrive. Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 8.24.2025

  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 Depth of Your Strength You say you’re finally healing And it’s all because of me That you no longer play the victim And you finally feel happy And God, I am so thankful But I need for you to know That it’s YOU that made this happen For you’ve found your inner glow I watched you rise above Through every broken thought And silence every demon That you’ve ever fought You took the shattered pieces  That were left behind And turned them into something That is stronger and refined You faced the bitter truth As you broke the binding chain You poured out all of your soul And healed all of your pain And now you shine in ways So honest, pure and true A light that even night Could never now undo You did all the work When you fought against the dark It’s YOU that gets the credit You reignited your own spark I may have been the one That helped you start to see But you’re the hero in this story For  YOU  set your spirit free Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright...

  The Chains That Bind Every day I feel this dread. The moment I get out of bed. It’s overwhelming. I’m all consumed. It’s like my life is only doomed. I really need to find a way. To stop this feeling that wants to stay. If only it would finally end. Then maybe I could start to mend. But healing whispers, soft and clear. Remind me that the light is near. Though shadows cling and hopes feel small. I have the strength to face it all. Each breath I take, each step I try. Is proof my spirit will not die. For even through the weight I bear. A brighter dawn waits in the air. And when that day begins to rise. I’ll greet the sun with clearer eyes. No longer trapped, no longer chained. But freer, stronger, and reclaimed. I am the light, I am the flame. Each day I wake, I’ll rise again. Through all the darkness, I will see. There’s still a brighter part of me.

The Purge It’s like my trauma is an illness That  you  think  you  need to cure And the way you try to change me Shows me that you’re insecure My past has helped to grow me All the way down to my core And what you’ve done is more than enough For me to walk out the door I won’t even attempt to try Or bother to explain To someone who doesn’t listen And tries to make me feel insane Yes, I’m really leaving I’ve had more than I can endure Because I deserve the kind of love That offers strength and that is pure And the only thing you offer Is a way to break me down But try hard to remember That when we met I wore a crown I’ve given you all the chances But your eyes still refuse to see The best of me was shining Long before you tried to alter me No longer will I question If I’m worthy or if I’m whole For I have walked through fire And it has tempered out my soul Of course there’s things I want to say But I’ll resist the urge Because you aren’t worth my energy You’re just so...

  Beneath The Skies When shadows fall and doubts arise, And dreams seem lost beneath the skies, There burns a flame, though small and shy, A spark of strength that will not die. Through weary roads and heavy rain, We walk with hearts that bear the strain. But every step, though slow or steep, Is proof of courage buried deep. The night may whisper tales of fear, Yet morning’s promise draws us near. With every dawn, a brand new chance. A song of hope, a life to dance. So lift your chin, let silence sing, The world still turns, and hearts still spring. You are the light the dark can’t steal, A soul that rises, dares to heal. The cracks you’ve earned from battles fought, Are lines where light pours through each thought. You’ve weathered storms, you’ve felt the flame. And still, you rise, still speak your name. The mountain bowed but did not break. Your spirit's strong for others’ sake. And now it’s time… you’re not alone. This path you walk's not paved in stone. Not every hero wear...

A Year of Drought A boundless chasm Filled with your pain. A year of drought But never rain. Swollen eyes From endless tears. A living nightmare Full of fears. A grief so strong It leaves you weak. A finish to it all Is what you seek. What you crave Is for the pain to end. A way to make Your own heart mend. But some pain lasts Throughout your life. It cuts you deeper Than a knife. It’s your first thought When you wake. Unbearable pain That you can’t shake. But you are stronger Than you realize. There’s steel beneath Your hardened cries. You’ve walked through fire And faced the ache. You somehow lived With each heartbreak. You breathe through pain That doesn’t sleep. You climb a hill That runs too steep. But still you stand, You still endure. And that alone Is something pure. You may not see The strength you show, But even cracked You still can glow. So lift your head Though tears still fall. You’ve risen through The worst of all. This pain may stay But so will grace. There’s fire in Yo...

  Canva AI Image You Are Sublime I want you to fly! I want you to soar! I want you to realize, You are worth fighting for! You need to remember, Through all of your days. That when God gave out brightness, He set yours to blaze. You are a beacon of light. You help strengthen others. Always uplifting. The best of all mothers. When shadows come calling, Remember your shine. And what was tough one day, The next will be fine. I want you to soar! I want you to fly! Your wings always pointing, Straight up to the sky! Life might be hard. But not all the time! You need only realize, That you are sublime! Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 5.20.2025

  Man O’ War I would have dimmed my light To let your own star blaze. Stared at you contentedly As I got lost in your gaze. I would have flown a spaceship Up to outer space. If there was even half a chance That I would get to see your face. I’d happily traipse through the desert Or fight a man o’ war. Just to have spent the day with you The man that I adore. But what I won’t do is change myself for you  For I am happy as I am. Instead, this is me walking away Because I no longer give a damn. Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 5.19.2025

My darlin, I hope you're out there making a way in this world. I hope that joy and happiness is healing your heart. Please Love, take your time. Your healing is so important to me. For my heart is healing as well. And I can't hold both our hearts in the same hand. I fear mine would damage yours. I want to be two parts of a whole. Not two parts of parts. So please Love, take all the time you need. I'll be here healing and patiently waiting for you to come home. Original Poetry Written By JT Cartwright Copyright (c) 2025 Published By Eryn Dunbar

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 Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 2.19.2025
