Public Health, Private Choices
Depending on your outlook both are valid choices.
Private health care the path to health,
Invest in your well-being, a fortress of self.
Tailored care, a shield against despair,
Comfort in choices, a personalised affair.
Swift attention, a beacon in the night,
Quality service, a reassuring light.
The NHS shines, a public embrace,
Health for all, a shared space.

I want to grow
I want to grow and I’m going to grow. I’m not going to be this version of myself anymore and you won’t know who I become. You won’t talk to her, or be by her side as she goes through life— you won’t know her. Her heart won’t even remember the small moments that’ve clung to it for so long. I’ll watch her embrace a new life that has nothing to do with you, and there won’t be a space waiting like there has been for far too long.

I liked the way you presented it.
I like the subtle yet strong critiques here, and how the NHS vs private contrast is not seen until the end. Very topical, and such a tricky topic!
