I cannot ever forgive those who had a vicarious liability to look after me and failed. As a result of being locked away for some years all because we were poor has brought certain limitations to my day to day life. Writing is a form of therapy and allows me to be free to be the person that I want to be, and should have been my birthright.

Day to day life can be exhausting and coping mechanisms that I learnt in order to survive have not helped me in the outside world.

Shame on all you right thinking residents in Ireland to allow the government and Catholic Church to ignore harm done to me and many others who are either dead or too ill to tell their story. Thanks to Chipmunkapublishing I have been able to confront my demons and a Big Thank you to Reatha my trauma counsellor without her I would not be here today writing about my stolen life.

Book Extract

My heart oh it beats so fast
Pondering on our future
A dream that we both know could last
And so our special love we will nurture
You speak in a calming voice
As you utter words that please me so
I am responding cause I may grow to love you
As down life’s path we go
Your kind words they have brought me comfort
My heart it is all ‘a dance’

Soon we will meet and have no regrets
Destiny has called us
And it is not by chance
A few choice words have set the scene
We have reached out to one another
My heart is full, my head is light
have we fallen in love with each other?
The pain of wanting grows stronger each day
The future calls us perhaps to give all of us
In our theatre of romance today
My step has developed a new meaning
It is now so purposeful and so bold
Reminding me of my future
No longer do I feel out in the cold
Each time I just sit and sigh
My bond is kindled
And the ribbons from my heart they are tied
