Creating a New Life

What can make a life worth celebrating?
Is it measured in material things-
Like houses and diamonds, or cars and rings,
Or shiny trinkets more captivating?
I’ve spent many hours concentrating
On how to assemble the wealth of kings
With mountains of cash and bright golden strings
But I lost the freedom of creating.
It’s time to cast off society’s yoke
And live my life without expectations!
Pouring my heart into every pen stroke
To challenge ideas- shake the foundations
And wielding my words to further invoke
A life worthy of new generations!

Erynn Crittenden

Erynn Crittenden has written poetry since she could hold a pen. This love prompted her to earn a BA in Creative Writing, where she learned how to experiment with syllables and styles. Since then, Erynn has self-published three poetry collections (By the Bones, Transfiguration, and Into the Western Sky) through Amazon. She also writes and publishes plenty of individual poems on her website, and her work has appeared in the Talon Literary Magazine, the Beautiful Poetry anthology by Silent Sparks Press, the #AmWriting anthology by the Wayne Foundation, and Life Blood: A Collection of Vampire Tales by Gary Hill. Erynn is also the creator and host of the Present Poetry Podcast, where she reads and celebrates a different poet every week. Find it and the rest of her works by visiting her website at LadyErynn.com.
