Writer’s Spotlight: 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. 

The Walls Know Me Fondly 

It’s a comfort to me after all these years 

Through my pain, sorrow and fears 

The one that knows me most of all 

Is my darling bedroom wall 

On my floor 

Alone I lied 

Danced with mirth, screamed a cry 

Though I have known many a friend 

Treasured and loyal, to the end 

Still the one that knows me best 

Lays just beyond my heaving chest 

The walls of my sanctuary 

Seem now more like a mortuary 

As now I say goodbye 

Hoping for one last lullabye 

For now I have grown 

Beyond these walls 

Now to walk, another’s halls 

Goodbye dear room 

Goodbye til’ morrow 

Goodbye to years of happiness and sorrow 

You knew me best, 

I must confess 

It’s a comfort after all my years 

Through my pain, sorrow and fears 

Yes, that you knew me above all 

Now I say goodbye to my bedroom walls
