'i Rose Like the Phoenix'
I rose like the phoenix
I climbed out of the abyss when I was at my weakest
Depression at its bleakest
I had to keep moving, I simply could not stop
For this to be possible my high standards could not drop
I possess courage, hope, determination and no fear
I'm an alpha, a viking in battle, please let me make that clear
Adversity is real and it can claim your life
You have to be prepared for this if you are to survive
You can't afford to give up, don't you dare quit
It is imperative that you realise you are mentally fit
When I create my poetry, I want my peers to relate
I want my words to resonate and help their mental state
I can't stress this enough, you have to keep going
Hard work and determination are the two things you must be showing
The thing that I have realised is depression does not tire
We must work harder than our illness, this will lift you higher
Be proud of your achievements, you've been through a lot
When the opportunity presents itself, make sure you take your shot
Be confident in your ability, believe that you're unstoppable
If you stick to this approach then anything is possible
