'there's No More Affliction'
It takes so much energy to try and stay strong
My depression thought it beat me, it turned out that it was wrong
I ended up battling my depression for so long
I was courageous in battle, you can call me king kong
Mental illness can be brutal, feeling down most of the time
You wake up depressed, you have Mount Everest to climb
I had a question for my illness, what are you in my life for
I had had enough abuse, so i then declared war
I had to be prepared, I needed a plan
My depression said I couldn't so I told it that I can
I warned my illness, don't doubt my ability
Because my mind is full of so much positivity
Every move I make is so precise and direct
When I think of my depression I say what did it expect
Every single punch it threw at me I had to deflect
When I think of how far I've come, I sit down and reflect
Just because my depression has passed away does not mean it won't come back
I must remain on guard and be ready for any attack
The hard work I put in today prepares me for tomorrow
The momentum i have gathered helps distance me from sorrow
The motivational poems I write contain messages that my peers can borrow
When it comes to my future, here is my prediction
I envision success delivered with so much conviction
If I said I was brave and not brave then that would be a contradiction
I'm the undisputed king of mental health, that is my description
When I have a problem in life, I start the process of decryption
I finally have freedom, there's no more affliction
