'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
