Liam Kennedy Poet Rhyme

'i'M a Warrior, a Viking'

I've encountered many battles, I'm currently at war

Giving up is something that I simply don't stand for

I'm a warrior, a viking, it's in my DNA

I've been PTSD and Depression free for the past two hundred days

Just because my mind is free does not mean the hard work stops

I'll still lead my life with positivity, my high standards will not drop

I must be ready for anything, i must be prepared

When my illness posed a threat, war was what I declared

I'm battle hardened, i was built for this

My inner strength helped drag me straight from the abyss

During my moment of crisis, I never had much time

I had to start moving, my instincts told me to climb

I'm grateful for the struggle, it helped me to transform

The way I fought back and went on the attack was just like an art form

What didn't kill me made me stronger, my mindset had been changed

The thoughts inside my mind had been restructured and rearranged

I liked this new way of thinking, I felt so Incredibly strong

My illness told me I was a failure, I was determined to prove it wrong

Every day I was so positive, I took the power away from my depression

I had the perfect answer each time I was asked a question

My illness begs me to stop, each day I twist the knife

It is now my prisoner, it no longer has a life

I have built momentum, so much progress has been made

Hard work and dedication are the two things that I've displayed

My journey has been difficult, it's been quite the test

It's taught me to keep working hard and to always try my best

I've overcome adversity, I've conquered my fears

I'm now solely focused on helping each one of my peers
