Anyone who was at our celebration event a few weeks ago won’t forget the moment our service user Kel stood up and read out her poem ‘7 months’. The poem is about the the changes she’s seen in her life since she started coming to Back on Track. We’d like to share it with you.

7 Months
A new life has begun
Another day I have won
Every day was a challenge
Now I challenge myself
I wake up every day
I face it a new way
7 months ago my life was dark
Now it’s more like a walk in the park
Living to succeed and be myself
Is better than my other self
Life isn’t always great
But now I like walking out the garden gate
With a smile on my face
With more room in my head for space
7 days 7 weeks 7 months
My life has changed
There is new things I’ve arranged
New friends I’ve made
Others never stayed
