'i'Ve Become a Different Man'

Since the day the nightmares stopped, I've become a different man My illness told me that I couldn't, so I told it that I can My main two problems where depression and my ptsd I was in such a bad way, they really tormented me I was so desperate, I wanted the pain to end During this horrendous time I became my own best friend Could I do this, could I get out alive I was prepared to go through hell to ensure that I survived I must admit that my chances of success where very slim My situation became critical, would I sink or would I swim I had to stay in the fight, no matter how weak I felt I had to become a H E R O, that's how Hero is spelt I must confess my mind was stressed I was severely depressed I had to try my best as I embarked on this new quest I knew that I had to try harder than I did on the previous day I kept on telling myself that everything would be ok I planted some seeds of hope and fight I envisioned that I would eventually find the light I had become desperate so I started therapy It turned out that this was to become the remedy After my first session, I had released all my emotion It was a huge weight off my mind, I was led my pure devotion Fast forward to my eighth session, so much progress had been made Bravery and courage where two things that I displayed The therapy had saved my life, I conquered my mental health I've now vowed that each day I become the best version of myself
