All I want is to get to the UK with Maya to get away from this cruel place to some where in which I can be safe that I can live my life without the fear of people coming to get me or waking up to a gun at my door. I want nothing more but to feel at home and that will be where i'm able to be myself. I miss my mother and father dearly and wish they could have come with us but I know then it would have been harder for us all as it is hard enough for just Maya and I to escape the horror. I think about them every day and being reunited and thats what gets me through it. Just ignoring how every corner I turn there is a new danger always someone who is larking to stop me achieving my dreams. I used to be a teacher you know. Sharing my knowledge with everyone but here i am no one. I'm sad lonely and treated like i'm nothing just for being a women I hurt so much but I cannot fight my corner because i have no chance of surviving this. It feels like an endless pit of despair which I will never get out off. With everyturn my life gets lower and lower and it is impossible to get out.
