Jamieson Street by

Oil on stretched canvas
600 × 700 mm

I was hurt then
they took me in
said I’m positive
It’s my thing now
they can’t take me
it might kill them
It gives me hope
to be safe
on the street
Here I live positive

12yrs old

Ek het seergekry
toe vat hulle my in
en sê ek’s positive
Dis my ding nou
hulle kannit nie
van my vat nie
it might kill them
Dit gee my hoop
om safe te wees
hier oppie straat
Hier leef ek positive
