'i Endured Hit After Hit'
I didn't throw the towel in, I decided not to quit
I kept fighting back, I endured hit after hit
I showed bravery, I showed courage, I also showed true grit
I was on my way to becoming mentally fit
I must build on this momentum, my work rate must not stop
I have an insatiable desire to succeed in life and my high standards must not drop
Why do i help people, I understand pain
I know that I don't want to go through that again
If you don't know me, my name is Liam Kennedy
I believe that my poetry is the remedy
A lot of thought goes into every single piece I write
Each word I choose to speak will offer hope and offer fight
If you are trapped in darkness, I can give you sight
Take my hand fellow warrior, let's now step into the light
No more running, you no longer have to hide
I can be your leader, I can also be your guide
Fall in love with life, it's a beautiful ride
For you to be a winner, summon the strength from deep inside
It's true I've struggled, it's true I fell
It's true that once or twice I've fought my way out of hell
My inner strength raised me higher, this ensured that I survived
I had to walk through fire for me to save my life
I've become unstoppable, I'm just like a machine
When helping people fight depression, I will always intervene
When I fight, it's domination
I offer hope to the mental health nation
The struggle was real, many tears where shed
Every single day I'd be at war inside my head
I defeated depression, for this i don't apologise
I finally realised that my life was the prize
