About Babawande Habibat Adebisi 's work:

Poem Title:

Packing my pieces

Poem Theme:

Self confrontation

Poem Inspiration:

I wrote this piece from a place of self-confrontation.
It was born in moments when I realized that life doesn’t always fight you from the outside - sometimes the hardest battles happen within.
I was surrounded by people who were also struggling, fighting their own demons, and in that noise, I began to lose sight of myself. My vision became blurred by exhaustion, fear, and the pressure to keep going without complaint.
This spoken word is my attempt to sit with that truth - to admit that my greatest enemy at some point was not the world, but me. It speaks to the quiet moments of loneliness, the unspoken pain, and the courage it takes to pack your broken pieces and move forward even when no one is watching.
I wrote this piece to remind myself - and anyone who listens - that choosing yourself is not selfish, that healing does not always come with applause, and that not everyone is strong enough to verbalize their pain.
This is a reflection of survival, self-awareness, and the strength it takes to keep showing up - not loudly, but honestly.

How long have they been writing poems:

3 months

How they discovered their passion for poetry and word art:

I discovered my passion for poetry after I watched Amb. Aina Ayomide perform at LinkedIn local, last year.
Her performance felt so personal and I imagined myself on that same stage performing. It was at that moment I decided to pick up my pen again and start writing - not just stories this time, but poetry.
