'i Want You To Listen'

Motivation, dedication, inspiration and ambition

Those are the four things that will help aide you on your mission

I want you to listen to what I have to say

If you decide to attack your illness it will run away

Depression is a coward

It's like grapes that are sour

You go toe to toe with it, you will take its power

Dominate all day every day, every second, minute, hour

When you turn your life around, you'll blossom like a flower

When tackling depression, be a meteor shower

My duty in life is to lift my peers higher

Warm feeling in my stomach, I've got a belly full of fire

To inspire my fellow warriors, this is the reason I write

Boxing match against your illness, give it an overhand right

The bell has just sound, we're in the twelfth round

You've just hit your illness on the jaw and it has fell to the ground

You have knocked your illness out

It has just had a ten count

How does it feel to be victorious

I am guessing that it feels extremely glorious

You've laid a marker down, your illness now fears for its safety

It has gone missing, it's disappearance was so hasty

Your depressions hurt you in the past, don't let it get away with it

It's future is now in your hands, you'll have the final say in it

My pen is a weapon, it's mightier than the sword

If you fight back against depression, you will earn a reward

You're almost there, to quit now is the one thing you can't afford

You've just made it to the mental battlefield, welcome aboard
