I was always in trouble from an early age. I had a fraught relationship with my parents who were very traditional. Doing plays at school was a joyous release.
I'm not an academic but I've always loved poetry since I've been small.
I feel an intense intimacy with those who have this loathing interest in me....
I learned patience perseverance and dedication. Now I really know myself and I know my voice. It's a voice of pain and victory.
