Entered the world like an uninvited guest;
I hid away, embarrassed- I was a disgrace.
Flawed, I survived this sentence. A tough test.
A child who was compared with all the rest,
I was different- an alien from outer space;
entered the world like an uninvited guest.
Benefits, wages kept me together, dressed,
I was a cash point- abused without a case;
flawed, I survived this sentence- a tough test.
On display to men for marriage; suppressed,
I was a British visa for Asian men to chase;
entered the world like an uninvited guest.
A lucky escape, rescued by a husband; blessed
with a family that I could love and embrace.
Flawed, I survived this sentence, a tough test.
My dreams came true and all were impressed,
a valued writer, poet, working mum, a place.
Entered the world like an uninvited guest,
flawed, I survive this sentence - a tough test.
