Echoes of a Broken Home by Walking Shadow Poetry
I was raised where love sounded like warWhere the walls shook not from laughter,But from voices sharp enough to cut through silence.Where “I love you” was whispered in public,But fists spoke louder behind closed doors. I grew up learning that love…Was something you had to survive. And so, I survived.Through nights where sleep was a…

Silent Wounds: When Boys Are Left to Suffer by walking shadow
They never talk about it,Not when it’s a boy.Because somehow, pain has a gender,And if you’re a man, you’re supposed to endure. They tell you to toughen up,Be strong, move on,Like your body wasn’t broken in ways words can’t hold.Like your spirit didn’t shatter in a room too cold to breathe. And the worst part?No…

Lost in the Middle, Rising to the Top | TEEN LIFE SPOKEN WORD by walking shadow poetry
They say we’re young, they say we’re free,But no one knows the storm in me.One moment high, the next one low,Trying to find the way to go. We chase our dreams, we crave a voice,Yet every day, we face a choice.Between the pressure, fears, and doubt,Still figuring what life’s about. Expectations weigh us down,They want…

Chasing Likes and Losing Sight by Walking Shadow poetry.
In this world where numbers reign,We chase the likes, ignore the pain.Views and shares, they fill our days,Yet deep inside, we’ve lost our ways. We post our wins, we show our best,We hide the times we failed the test.With every click, we seek to prove,Yet in our hearts, we barely move. We count the followers,…

You Found Me and I met Love by walking shadow poetry
I had given up, I won’t even lie,Love had left me with tears to dry.My heart was cracked, my trust was gone,I swore I’d never love anyone. But then you came, so soft, so kind,Patient enough to ease my mind.You didn’t rush, you took your time,Showed me love was still divine. Despite my flaws, despite…

Leave the Door Open by Walking Shadow Poetry Kenya
She walked in, shoulders high,A single woman in a room full of power,She took her seat, spoke her mind,But something inside whispered, go further. Taking up space is just the start,But what’s the point if you stand alone?If no other woman follows behind,Then the battle is only half-won. She climbed the ladder, rank by rank,Fought…

START ALL OVER AGAIN by walking shadow poetry Kenya
I should have walked away, but I stayed too long,Held on to echoes of a broken song.I spoke when silence was my friend,But my words; oh, they didn’t mend. I’ve stayed in places I should have left,Clinging to memories, feeling bereft.Restless nights, mind in a spin,Fighting battles, I never stepped in. Ever been there? Where…

Protecting Her Peace SPOKEN WORD by walking shadow poetry
She is fine being alone.Not lonely, not searching,just at peace in her own world,wrapped in the quiet that never betrays her. She doesn’t crave noise.She doesn’t need people hovering around,filling the air with empty words,acting like presence is the same as care. Because she’s learned,some people bring more chaos than comfort.Some walk in with sweet…

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…
