Lessons Without Scars by walkingshadowpoetry.
I used to believe that experience was the best teacher.That you had to feel the fire before you could understand the burn,Walk through storms in order to appreciate the sun,And lose yourself just to know the pain of finding your way back. But over time, life has a way of proving you wrong.Some lessons don’t…

Spoken Word: Ghosting, the Silent Exit by walking shadow poetry.
Ghosting…It’s like a quiet storm,A sudden shift, no warning, no form.You’re left hanging, with your heart in distress,Wondering what happened was it all a mess? At first, they vanish, like smoke in the air,You reach out, but they’re never there.Now, you’re stuck with silence, filled with doubt,Wondering if you were the one they’d cast out.…

Spoken Word: A Space to Be by walking shadow poetry.
There are days when I feel like I’m drowning,Like no matter how hard I try,The weight of the world keeps pushing me down,And no one sees it, no one hears the cry. I smile, I laugh, I play the part,But deep inside, I’m falling apart.I’ve built these walls, kept myself locked tight,Afraid to let someone…

Spoken Word: “Breaking the Walls” by walking shadow poetry
We all hide behind walls we’ve built so tall,Afraid of what’s inside, afraid of the fall.We think that if we keep everyone far away,It’ll protect us, but we’re only pushing them away. These defenses we put up, they never heal,They just make the hurt harder to deal.We smile, pretend, say we’re fine,But inside, it’s like…

Spoken Word: The Weight I Carry by walking shadow poetry
I carry this weight,Not on my back, but in my chest.It’s heavy, constant, and it doesn’t rest.I’ve tried to be strong,But honestly, how long can I fake being okayWhen everything feels so wrong? Relationships?I got into them, hoping for love,Dreaming of something real, something solid.Instead, I built castles in the air,Only to watch them crumble,Leaving…

Tired of feeling like just a name by walking shadow poetry.
You said you wanted something casual,Something simple, no strings, just natural.But I wasn’t ready for that game,Tired of feeling like just a name. I’ve been hurt too many times before,And now my heart won’t take it anymore.The last thing I want this year to be,Is someone’s backup, can’t you see? It wasn’t easy to accept…

Spoken Word: Choosing Me by walking shadow poetry.
You said you wanted something casual,Something simple, no strings attached.But I wasn’t ready for that.I’ve been hurt too many times before,And the last thing I want this yearIs to be just an option.A backup plan.Someone who’s there only when it’s convenient. It wasn’t easy to accept the way things were,To look at your reasons and…

Walking Away by walking shadow poetry
spoken word. I never thought walking away could feel like thisLike carrying the weight of the world in my chest,Yet leaving with empty hands.It’s funny how you can give so much,Pour yourself out, drop by drop,And still feel like it was never enough. You see, I stayed.I stayed through the storms,Through the silence,Through the cracks…
