Let me draw attention
To the details of my past
Those B.C. years of horror
When Satan ruled my life –
Trapped inside Pandora’s Box
Enchanted by Glasgow’s slums
Educated by an aunt
Who dressed up as a man
Taught to lie with innocence
To steal without detection
Snatched from school to earn my keep
I struggled for redemption –
As time betrayed my childhood dreams
And fantasies escaped
