Liam Kennedy Poet Rhyme

'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
