'i Must Make the Right Choices'
I must make the right choices, I must do this everyday
Physically I'm struggling but mentally I am ok
Inspiring my peers, i know this will be my profession
I have many strategies that will help you defeat depression
If you're struggling right now, this does not mean your weak
The first step of recovery is the ability to speak
Open up to someone, get it off your chest
Trust me when I say that doing this is for the best
In the long run we're at war, each day is a battle
Deciding that you're gonna fight will make your Illness rattled
When it comes to writing poetry, every day I've been active
157 days my depressions been inactive
Before entering my recovery I found myself lost
If i would not have fought back it could have come at quite the cost
I won't sugar-coat this, depression is very real
It can turn a good day to a bad day, we don't like the way that feels
I have a shield and a sword, I hold both to the sky
The tears that I've shed they have finally dried
I'm offering my hand, let me help you up
Allow me to demonstrate the art of never giving up
The me today thanks the past me for deciding not to quit
I owe so much to that man, because of him my mind is fit
I'm getting stronger every day, momentum has been gathered
When its me against my illness, my depression ends up scattered
It's true I've been to hell, it's true I almost died
My depression told me I was weak, it continued telling lies
I hung in there, I picked myself up off the ground
I was searching for so long until my inner strength was found
Writing has enlightened me with poetry the remedy
Let this stay in your memory, my name is Liam Kennedy
