I never thought I’d have this life
Brought up on a broken council estate
I was never meant to have this nuclear family
When I look back at my life
And where I came from
To looking at what I have
And where my future is headed
It feels surreal
I’m not meant to have this much promise in my life
I don’t know how to handle it
I’ve got survivors guilt
Because of who I left behind
The past version of me
And the people I cut off along the way
I hope I can forgive past me for sabotaging myself
Because she almost broke the woman I am today
