'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
