Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Pressure on the NHS

She cried as if she was three again

This competent, clever, caring woman:

Her practice all-emergency work now: depression, deserted children, suicide  dead souls,

Spice, Meth, Horse, Charlie, Booze, Weed, E.

Foul defilement, rape, violence, wounds,

scarred for life.

People living in fear

Do you hear?

People too scared to fall asleep!! Too scared to call the police. Who never come.

You who live in the comfort zone,

Of pensions, savings, income drawdown, gated communities, awaydays in a no-kids hotel

Do you hear the silent suffering? Do you? Really?
