The Persistent Thoughts of a Young Adult Mind

by
Christian Andrews-Stewart

This book contains the many persistent thoughts of my young adult mind. Some are fun. Some are quite the opposite. All are relatable to a person of any age. This is about picturing yourself in any or all of these moments in time. From my brain to yours.

Bio

My name is Christian and I write about moments in time. Whether it be playful and fun or lonely and sad. I write what I feel and hope that you connect to it as much as I do. The haiku I write are meant to make you feel connected to not only me, but the inner child that lives inside of you no matter your age. May you feel all the feelings!

wishing for once
i don’t have to
road trip alone

i hope my boots
           don’t fill with sn-
damn.

dreading the moment
the dial moves
straight to E

no way
do i look that good
in this outfit

remote control
in most ways
my childhood

FAIRY

Flying so fast. Where is she off to? Glitter falls to the ground. How'd that get everywhere? Gentle wings that sparkle like a star. Can I get that glow? Before my eyes she flies. Wondering if she is as friendly as she looks. The glimmer of her shape comes forward. Closer and closer. She stares at me. Do I say hello? Do I catch her? Do I ask her what it's like to be her? She smiles. The glimmer is gone.

fast flight
as she sparkles by
curious little one

maybe so
could it mean
free snow cones?

i hear them . . .
making memories
that aren’t mine
