'my Actions Became Instinctive'
My name is Liam Kennedy, I suffer with my mental health
I used to struggle all the time but I now look after myself
My duty in life is to help save my peers
You don't have to suffer anymore, it's now time to wipe your tears
I didn't choose this life, in fact this life chose me
I choose to approach my life with positivity
I am in recovery, one hundred and seventy nine days
I am here to stay my friends, this is not a phase
The desire inside my heart to survive helped my fight against depression
I must admit being mentally fit has left quite the impression
I have studied many strategies, I know how to fight
My resilience and perseverance has guided me toward the light
Life can be so hard at times but being at war is what I relish
Victory is quite a beautiful thing, those moments must be cherished
At times I became desperate, I knew I wanted to be alive
My actions became instinctive and this helped me to survive
At one point I truly struggled, suffering was all I knew
I endured the pain, i danced in the rain, I became brand new
Don't listen to your illness, it just tells you lies
Once you start to focus you'll realise your life is the prize
I paint beautiful pictures with the words I choose to write
I have the ability to spread positivity by offering truth, heart and insight
No matter what obstacle I face, I know success is my fate
I aim straight at the target and then I obliterate
I must admit I truly love the way my life has panned out
If you decide to read my poetry you will find out what my lifes about
