'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
