'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

Amen, bless you in your writing may God use you to help others that have these issues, life is a fight until we give up trying to fight this wicked world on our own, and find Jesus to dwell within to give peace,love, guidance and that purpose to live life and fight for others to receive this gift,
