FOOL'S GOLD

Image
  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...

IN THE AFTERGLOW

Image
In The Afterglow I’m sitting in the afterglow of your wicked, raging storm. You tried to break me with the winds, but I have been reborn. You thundered through my open skies, with fury, fire, and rain. You carved your name in lightning just to watch me bend in pain. But here I sit in golden light, still breathing, soft, and strong. You never knew the kind of soul that turns the hurt to song. So take your chaos, leave your ash, I’ve bloomed beyond the flame. I wear the light you meant to steal… And proudly bear my name.

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...

BY YOUR SIDE

Canva AI IMage By Your Side You got some bad news. Let me hold your hand. No matter what, By your side I will stand. I want you to know, That I’m here for you. Together, we’ve got this. We’ll get you through. We’re wading through waves. In an ocean, so deep. But I’ll stay by your side. That’s the promise I’ll keep. I won’t turn my back. I won’t walk away. No matter what happens, I’ll never stray. You got some bad news. Your heart's feeling broken. So I hold you close. And no words are spoken. If I could only, Make you finally see. You’ve found a best friend. You get all of me. I’ll always be here. We’re bonded for life. No matter the problem. No matter the strife. So you got some bad news. But I’m by your side. I’ve wiped away all, The tears you have cried. I’ll do my best, To help you stay strong. I’ll work on a strategy, To fix what went wrong. But together we’ll make it. I solemnly swear. For we’re stronger together. In this love that we share. Original Poetry Written By Eryn Du...

CONSIDER THIS GOODBYE

  Consider This Goodbye My spirit might be broken But I will always be outspoken I will stand up for what’s right I will not give up the fight. My name, you will not sully I do not care if you’re a bully Where you tear people down I straighten out their crown You are a poison, not a gift Where as I always uplift Maybe you should try it Instead, you just deny it Words cut like a knife I will not allow you in my life With wings I soar so high And away from you, I fly You are just not a nice guy So consider this goodbye Original Poetry Written By Eryn Dunbar Copyright (c) 5.9.2025
