Writer’s Spotlight: S. Brady

On Being Known by S. Brady 

“Brady is a biology major on the Pre-med track who has been writing for years, while she hasn't been previously published she has been working on a manuscript of poetry for quite some time. For years writing has been an outlet for her, her main inspiration comes from the tales her Grandmother read to her while growing up and the adventures she had throughout her life.” 

There are moments in time 

When my heart beat stops 

And my breath slows 

My head swivels like some frightened deer 

I freeze for a second 

Only a second, and my hands shake 

They are there, 

Looking at me with mirth 

Hand over mouth to silence a squeak, 

I realize with bated breath 

I am known 

I have been found out 

They see me 

They see my soul 

The pieces I have found 

Within the inbetween 

The faces I make 

when it is just me and the mirror 

I have been seen 

The person I have been formed into 

By the bits and bobs of those I’ve loved 

The unashamed person I am 

When I am freed by the shame of moral 

Dancing in the false moonlight of a clock 

Face 

Laughing and carefree 

Lost in my own mind 

I lose my senses 

And like a deer caught by a hunt 

I am known
