The group I was in all stared curiously at the caged window; but I didn’t have to wonder what it would be like to live behind bars.
Oh Sweet Jesus, help me I prayed,as I looked in through the green rusty barred window, of the bare room which held me as his slave from the age of nine ,though my stomach churned,and my blood curdled,I knew I had to face my demons .
When I was in my teens I was rather a tearaway. Got locked up for six months for my troubles. Never again. I knew I was somewhat afraid of heights but I didn’t realise I was claustrophobic. Maybe not so much: I am happy enough in a confined space providing I can get out. But If I’m locked up and the key is taken away…I shiver and tremble at the thought.
So those bars on the window are quite enough to drive me away. If they are needed for security I will sleep outside.
