'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
