Liam Kennedy Poet Rhyme

'my Incredible Fall and Rise'

I've figured out life, it's the ultimate prize

This is my incredible fall and rise

It's no secret I have suffered in the past

I found my inner strength and the struggle did not last

I've suffered breakdowns, I've been sectioned and I have also been hopelessly lost

If I would not have decided to fight back then i believe it would've come at a cost

During the breakdown I suffered I could hear eight voices inside of my head

I felt like I was losing my mind, this contributed to all of my dread

Two hours of broken sleep a night and my meds where also stopped

This was the most depressed i had ever been, I was left in total shock

The withdrawal symptoms from my meds being stopped seriously took it's toll

I was fantasising about becoming well once again, this was my ultimate goal

Positive visualisation was what I decided to do

This made quite the impact on ny mind, I found out this process to be true

As each day was going by my confidence was beginning to grow

Determination, heart, strength, work rate and grit was what I now started to show

The odds where stacked against me, It got to the point where I needed a miracle

Hope is what I grasped hold of, the pain at times was unbearable

I was faced with desperation, adversity was not too far away

Despite the fact that I was in a dark place, I told myself that I'd be ok

Without realising what I had started, I had actually planted a seed

Finally I located my inner strength, I now believed that I would succeed

I will never forgive my depression for the  it's put me through

We have now swapped places, I will continue to turn the screw

Quite some time has now elapsed, finding the true me is my greatest discovery

This is my incredible fall and rise, I now find myself in recovery
