'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

Amen, great motivation to all, we shall start each day with a fresh new start, today has enough worries of its own, many things we go through is a blessing once we find our way out to be able to see God was with us this whole time and we might understand and help others, take care , I am praying for ya my friend
