Biography

OK, so this is the first time I have done anything like this. I've spent what feels like an eternity afraid of letting go and allowing people to read stuff I have written. My beginnings in life were not the best my very early childhood was of severe neglect and depravity. I left school at the age of 14 with no qualifications and just about able to read and write. I discovered a release unlike anything I had ever felt when I started reading poetry and not just reading but having a go myself at releasing my pain through writing. Reading other people's works and having a glimpse into their soul gave me such an amazing feeling that's hard to explain. I hope one day to have the same effect on someone else. xxxxxx

A Victim No More Childhood memories that are cold and dark of gut wrenching sadness of an aching dying heart. You came into my room in the middle of the night telling me it would be all right. You told me to have no fear as you came near. The cruel sadistic truth is all I see, the man before me is my Grampi. You had me believe it was a secret game and from then moment on my life was never the same. You filled my childhood with pain and fear to the outside world you were so sincere. You plagued my emotions with a dark twisted heart tearing everything inside, ripping me apart. The pain you inflicted to satisfy your sick gain is what drove me insane. You won many battles but I won the war I’m not your victim any more. The cruellest prison is one we create within ourselves though fear pain and violence. BREAK THE SILENCE.
