About this listen

At age 14, I ran away, but not from home - because I never had one to begin with.

At school I participated in every sport, club, and after-school activity, so that when the other kids finally left, I could settle in for the night by my locker.

I spent my childhood dealing with gangs, drugs, violence, and my mother's mental illness, but the real enemy was always poverty.
