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
I’m glad to have the life I have I know I’m truly blessed
I just hope I can forgive the woman I used to be, because she was toxic and almost cost us the amazing life we have now

Fate is such a weird thing
Two people
two completely different lives
Find each other
Simply when the universe decides
I was young and lost
You were older and the same
I was stuck in a cycle of toxicity
Unable to break free of the chains
Until that fateful day
When we went out for that drive
And I fell in love so quickly
For once I wasn’t blind
Fate brought you to me
And nothing will ever change my mind
I’ll forever be completely shocked at how far my life has come since I met you

I hope to god that I go first
Because I wouldn’t know what to do without you
Because the thought of being without you is genuinely too painful
And a lifetime with you simply wouldn’t be enough
So I hope I go first
Because I know you’d be strong for our girls
Because I know that you’d be okay without me until I could see you again
Because I know that you’re a stronger person than me
But then
I hope you’re not far behind
Because you’ve told me you don’t want to be alone
Because I know how much you secretly love affection
Because I know that when the beds empty you get confused as to why I’m not there stealing the quilt or snoring
But if you do go first
Know that
I’d be counting the days until I saw you again
I’d get a dog to keep your side of the bed warm and wake me up with snores
I’d re watch supernatural to fall asleep to re live our memories
And I’d make sure that I’d stay strong for these girls
I know how selfish this feeling is but the thought of loosing you is one I can’t bear

Phia
To be loved is to be seen
And I never realized just how invisible I felt
Until you came along
And saw me in full color

Your love is quiet
Yet to me it’s so loud
You love so silently
It never makes a sound
But I can feel it in every corner of this home
And anytime you come close
Your love is soft
I’m at home wherever you are
Your love is gentle
I can see it in the way you are when I’m breaking
Your love is like a sunset
A million times I could feel and see it and still it makes me feel at peace
Your love is like the moon
Ever watching and ever guiding keeping my gravity steady

I can’t write poetry anymore
And it’s not because I don’t want too
It’s because i can’t
I used to be able to write for hours
But what once fuelled me
Doesn’t anymore
See I used to write when my heart was breaking
Or when my soul felt heavy
But I haven’t felt that way in such a long time
Because I’m finally complete
I’m finally happy
After years of looking after everyone but myself
I now look after myself above anyone
But only with one exception
My dear sweet child
If only you knew
That the second I knew I had you
All my fears would leave
All my heartbreak healed
They say motherhood is hard
I say it can’t be
Loving you is easy
Watching you grow is magic
Learning about the world with you is inspiring
But in a whole different way
I can’t imagine who I’d be without you
