Publisher's Synopsis
Welcome to 'First Fourteen', a preview of my debut release - 'Poems from a runaway'. It's my story of being a teenager in care, and a frequent runaway from the west midlands (UK). Follow me on a journey from ten years old, wandering from town to town before eventually at the age of twelve, finding myself in the east end of London with drug addicts and prostitutes. A year later I was to be sleeping rough in London's West end, meeting celebrities and all sorts of folk. It's a story with many tragedies, but also comedic moments. Choices that would have only been made with a youngsters thinking, and angels along the way. Predators, friends, heart-warming times and dangerous moments. Hustles, wind-ups and the way young people entertain themselves along the way. Some moments in life that some may never had knew existed. This book contains 14 of the 60 poems from the full Poems From a Runaway book, not the actual first fourteen of the book, but the first fourteen written.
