Notes This poem appears to refer to some kind of industrial school or orphanage setting, in which this child is held. She is forced to wear a uniform and thread rosaries until her fingers bleed. Later, she discovers who her real family are, and escaped to her real father in Nigeria. It is uncertain to what this poem refers - it may even refer to Irish Industrial Schools or Magdalene Laundries.
