The Weight by walking shadow poetry
You walk through life with your head held high,But not in pride or dignity,Rather in the habit of looking down,At those you deem beneath you,As if their worth is measured by your gaze,As if their value is something you can decide. You’ve built walls around your heart,Fortresses of judgment and superiority,But what you don’t see,Is…

Reflections from Above by walking shadow poetry.
You walk with your head held high,Eyes scanning the world from a distance,Judging silently, but with a sharp gaze,Thinking you are above, better, more deserving,Looking down on others as if they are less,But have you ever wondered what it’s like,To truly see beyond the surface,To understand the depth of the lives you pass by? You…

Abled differently by walking shadow poetry
In a world that often looks at you differently,You’ve faced the stares, the whispers, the pity,But there’s a strength in you they can’t see,A fire that burns quietly, yet fiercely,A heart that beats with resilience,A spirit that refuses to be defined by limits. You are not less, not broken, not lacking,You are whole in ways…

Beauty Within by Walking shadow poetry.
You are unique, a masterpiece of life,Crafted with care, with purpose, with love,Your journey may not look like theirs,But it is your own, special and profound,Filled with moments that only you can understand,Challenges that only you have faced,And victories that belong to you alone. In a world that often looks with narrow eyes,It’s easy to…

You’ve reached the peak after a long climb,Every step marked by sweat, tears, and time,The road behind you was steep and tough,But you held on when the journey got rough. There were moments when doubt clouded your mind,When the path ahead seemed too hard to find,But you dug deep, found strength in your soul,Kept moving…

Underground by Walking Shadow Poetry.
You are a seed,Planted deep in the soil,Not buried, but held close by the earth,Cradled in the warmth of darkness,Where it may seem like all is lost,But remember, this is just the beginning. The weight above you may feel like too much,The silence may echo too loud in your heart,And the cold may seep into…

Planted, Not Buried
You are a seed, my friend,Planted deep in the earth, not buried,For there’s a difference, you see,Burial is the end, but planting is just the beginning. They pressed you down into the soil,Covered you with the weight of the world,Hoping to see you fade away,But they didn’t know you’re not meant to stay. In the…

Another Year, Another Step by walking shadow poetry Kenya.
Today, I turn a year older,And I feel a mix of warm and colder.I’m proud of all I’ve done so far,But the future feels like a distant star. I’ve faced hard days and sleepless nights,But I’ve kept going, fought the fights.I’ve climbed hills, crossed some streams,Held onto hope, chased my dreams. Yet now, as I…
