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…

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…

Love Me, Then Leave Me by walking shadow poetry.
It started like a dream,Like poetry wrapped in silk,Like a love song played on repeat,Like a fairytale where I was finally the main character. They called me perfect before they knew my flaws,Made promises before they knew my past,Built castles in the sky before we had a foundation on the ground. And I?I believed it.…

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…

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…
