Winning the Battle Within Spoken Word by walking shadow.
Before you fight the world,before you chase the crown,before you point fingers,telling the world, it’s holding you down…Fight yourself first. Fight the fear that keeps you stuck,the voice that whispers, “You’re not enough.”The one that tells you, “Stay in your lane,”when deep down, you were built to reign. See, fearit’s a cage with an open…

Grown, But Not Growing Spoken word by walking shadow.
They say age is just a number,but I’ve seen toddlers in grown-up bodies,throwing tantrums in suits and heels,demanding respect they never give. I’ve seen old souls in young frames,silent in a room full of noise,watching, understanding, choosing peace,while those twice their age are out herefighting battles that ain’t even worth it. Maturity,it’s not the candles…

A Faithful Man, A Rare Breed by walking shadow poetry.
They say, all men cheat.Like it’s written in stone, like it’s a fact of life,Like loyalty is a language they just can’t speak. But pause. Breathe. Think.Is faithfulness a myth, or is it a choice?Because I’ve seen men stand firm when temptation whispers,I’ve seen men walk away when the easy road called.I’ve seen men love…

From Stumbles to Strength by walking shadow poetry.
The mistakes I made?They weren’t just scars;They were lessons written in ink too deep to erase.In fact, they were chapters in a book I once wished to burn.But now, when I look back,I realize they were never meant to be erased. I thought I had to be perfect.I believed every step needed to be calculated.Every…

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: 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: 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…
