The Beginning Of The End

by Nathaniel Stewart

I am unique and broken I wonder what's my true purpose I hear dogs barking I see dead trees

I want everyone to be happy I am unique and broken

I pretend that I'm happy I feel like I have a purpose I touch my mother’s shoulder I worry that I might lose my mom I cry for the things I lose I am unique and broken

I understand that I am something I say I can help people be happy I dream for everyone to be happy I try to keep my friends from dying I hope I don't lose anyone else I am unique and broken

Behind The Skin

by Nathaniel Stewart

I am from my PS4 from the wooden doors and the closed windows.

I am from the quietest but loudest house that feels new and old.

I am from the trees outside. The trees whose long gone limbs I remember as if they were my own.

I'm from my grandma’s memorial and drawings from my sister and my mother I'm from staying up late and drinking coffee and from playing with my cat

I'm from wishing wells giving me good luck and from eating carrots will give me amazing eyesight and itsy bitsy spider I'm from movie night I'm from my hospital and Ireland or tacos and pork From my great-x2 grandfather that fought in World War 2, about how he died and became a purple heart, pictures of me and my family that I treasure and mementos that are stored in my heart
