'i Must Make the Right Choices'

I must make the right choices, I must do this everyday
Physically I'm struggling but mentally I am ok
Inspiring my peers, i know this will be my profession
I have many strategies that will help you defeat depression
If you're struggling right now, this does not mean your weak
The first step of recovery is the ability to speak
Open up to someone, get it off your chest
Trust me when I say that doing this is for the best
In the long run we're at war, each day is a battle
Deciding that you're gonna fight will make your Illness rattled
When it comes to writing poetry, every day I've been active 
157 days my depressions been inactive
Before entering my recovery I found myself lost
If i would not have fought back it could have come at quite the cost
I won't sugar-coat this, depression is very real
It can turn a good day to a bad day, we don't like the way that feels
I have a shield and a sword, I hold both to the sky
The tears that I've shed they have finally dried
I'm offering my hand, let me help you up
Allow me to demonstrate the art of never giving up
The me today thanks the past me for deciding not to quit
I owe so much to that man, because of him my mind is fit
I'm getting stronger every day, momentum has been gathered
When its me against my illness, my depression ends up scattered
It's true I've been to hell, it's true I almost died
My depression told me I was weak, it continued telling lies
I hung in there, I picked myself up off the ground
I was searching for so long until my inner strength was found
Writing has enlightened me with poetry the remedy
Let this stay in your memory, my name is Liam Kennedy

'i'M a Warrior, a Viking'

I've encountered many battles, I'm currently at war

Giving up is something that I simply don't stand for

I'm a warrior, a viking, it's in my DNA

I've been PTSD and Depression free for the past two hundred days

Just because my mind is free does not mean the hard work stops

I'll still lead my life with positivity, my high standards will not drop

I must be ready for anything, i must be prepared

When my illness posed a threat, war was what I declared

I'm battle hardened, i was built for this

My inner strength helped drag me straight from the abyss

During my moment of crisis, I never had much time

I had to start moving, my instincts told me to climb

I'm grateful for the struggle, it helped me to transform

The way I fought back and went on the attack was just like an art form

What didn't kill me made me stronger, my mindset had been changed

The thoughts inside my mind had been restructured and rearranged

I liked this new way of thinking, I felt so Incredibly strong

My illness told me I was a failure, I was determined to prove it wrong

Every day I was so positive, I took the power away from my depression

I had the perfect answer each time I was asked a question

My illness begs me to stop, each day I twist the knife

It is now my prisoner, it no longer has a life

I have built momentum, so much progress has been made

Hard work and dedication are the two things that I've displayed

My journey has been difficult, it's been quite the test

It's taught me to keep working hard and to always try my best

I've overcome adversity, I've conquered my fears

I'm now solely focused on helping each one of my peers

'i Have Nothing Left To Prove'

Giving up is the one thing that i simply can't afford

My words are my weapons and my pen is the sword

I have a message for my warrior sisters and brothers

Imagine a world where we all helped one another

I'm determined to succeed and I am full of dedication

My survival consists of positivity and medication

I've conquered my depression, I have nothing left to prove

I'm intricate and so precise as I concoct each move

Positivity is powerful, hopeful, brilliant and excellent

It will spread throughout your body and your happiness will then be evident

I feel that it's important that we have hope inside our thoughts

I know that this can help you if you're feeling out of sorts

My friends you cannot quit just because of an obstacle

Develop a mindset where you feel anything is possible

My illness can't compete with me, I'm on a totally different level

When it comes to poetry, I believe my gift is special

I offer hope, strength, support, positivity and fight

Let me be the beacon who can guide you to the light

Stay calm and composed, there's no need to stress

No matter how fast or slow you go, progress is still progress

Stay hopeful and do not become disheartened

Practice makes perfect, your tools must be sharpened

When opportunity knocks then you must break down the door

Look how far you've come since you got up off the floor

'i Go On An All Out Attack'

My illness sometimes pushes me, I decide to push it back

My illness fails to retaliate because I go on an all out attack

My mission is pure and simple, I pride myself on dedication

Fighting back requires 95 percent, the other 5 percent is my medication

I've worked tirelessly hard these past few months to get into this position

I'm positive, I never give up, I'm full of hope and ambition

My message is simple, I'm here to help, fellow warriors you're not alone

In order for each one of you to grow, you must first leave your comfort zone

Set yourself some targets, it's so crucial that you have a goal

Developing strength, heart, fight and hope helps you to climb out of a hole

In order for me to remain well, I must have a plan in place

I must be tactile, I must be precise, It's important I stay in the race

The distance between me and depression is increasing in length every day

When it comes to the message I am telling my peers, I know exactly what to say

Each poem I write is a weapon, each word the ammunition

My aim is true, it pulls me through as a much welcomed addition

Do not get me wrong my friends, I will pay if I get complacent

I'm calculated with each move I make, I must not get impatient

There's nothing special about me, I just refuse to quit

I have passed the acid test, I've proved that I'm mentally fit

Poetry is such a powerful tool, it allows me to express myself

Each poem I write tops up my mind and promotes sound mental health

Before I wrap this up, there is something I'd like to say

This poem is for my peers, I hope it's brightened up your day

'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

'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

If you decide to read my poetry you will find out what my lifes about

'i Want You To Listen'

Motivation, dedication, inspiration and ambition

Those are the four things that will help aide you on your mission

I want you to listen to what I have to say

If you decide to attack your illness it will run away

Depression is a coward

It's like grapes that are sour

You go toe to toe with it, you will take its power

Dominate all day every day, every second, minute, hour

When you turn your life around, you'll blossom like a flower

When tackling depression, be a meteor shower

My duty in life is to lift my peers higher

Warm feeling in my stomach, I've got a belly full of fire

To inspire my fellow warriors, this is the reason I write

Boxing match against your illness, give it an overhand right

The bell has just sound, we're in the twelfth round

You've just hit your illness on the jaw and it has fell to the ground

You have knocked your illness out

It has just had a ten count

How does it feel to be victorious

I am guessing that it feels extremely glorious

You've laid a marker down, your illness now fears for its safety

It has gone missing, it's disappearance was so hasty

Your depressions hurt you in the past, don't let it get away with it

It's future is now in your hands, you'll have the final say in it

My pen is a weapon, it's mightier than the sword

If you fight back against depression, you will earn a reward

You're almost there, to quit now is the one thing you can't afford

You've just made it to the mental battlefield, welcome aboard

'i'Ve Become a Different Man'

Since the day the nightmares stopped, I've become a different man

My illness told me that I couldn't, so I told it that I can

My main two problems where depression and my ptsd

I was in such a bad way, they really tormented me

I was so desperate, I wanted the pain to end

During this horrendous time I became my own best friend

Could I do this, could I get out alive

I was prepared to go through hell to ensure that I survived

I must admit that my chances of success where very slim

My situation became critical, would I sink or would I swim

I had to stay in the fight, no matter how weak I felt

I had to become a H E R O, that's how Hero is spelt

I must confess my mind was stressed

I was severely depressed

I had to try my best as I embarked on this new quest

I knew that I had to try harder than I did on the previous day

I kept on telling myself that everything would be ok

I planted some seeds of hope and fight

I envisioned that I would eventually find the light

I had become desperate so I started therapy

It turned out that this was to become the remedy

After my first session, I had released all my emotion

It was a huge weight off my mind, I was led my pure devotion

Fast forward to my eighth session, so much progress had been made

Bravery and courage where two things that I displayed

The therapy had saved my life, I conquered my mental health

I've now vowed that each day I become the best version of myself

'my Illness Trails Behind Me'

I am confident that depression will not define me

I am leading this race while my illness trails behind me

When it comes to depression I dedicate a lot of hate

I will never forget the pain it caused my mental state

Although it is my enemy, its also been my teacher

For a few years pain and suffering became a double feature

When under intense stress, I had to produce a reaction

When I decided to fight back it gave me so much satisfaction

I had to concoct a plan, I had to incorporate preparation

I decided to challenge my illness without any hesitation

I must admit it felt good, it gave me a boost

To become a fearless warrior is what i had to produce

Things began to change rapidly, I say this happily

My illness was emotionless and full of so much apathy

The way I see my life, I am on the mental battlefield

At my disposal I have an arsenal, a sword and a shield

I'm not scared anymore, I've become fearless

There is no more crying, I am now tearless

I will never taste defeat again

If I fall down nine times, I will stand up ten

I've become a machine, I am an asset to my peers

My words resonate and help them conquer their fears

When life became critical, I had to fight for my survival

My illness became pitiful, my Inner strength made its arrival

I made a promise to myself, I would fight to the death

I had to resurrect my mental health, I would fight till my last breath

This was clash of the titans or like vikings at war

This was my opportunity to settle a score

I'm not scared, I do not feel fear

My illness has been defeated and I am still here

'i Can Help Guide Youngsters'

'I CAN HELP GUIDE YOUNGSTERS'

I want to educate children about mental health

Offer tips and advice to look after themselves

Depression can hit you at any age

If you let it take control you, you must break free from the cage

Learning quite early can help save your life

I can share with you my strategies on how to survive

Mental health should be a priority to be taught in all schools

Silence the haters and the ignorant fools

I know I can help guide youngsters, take them under my wing

To fight back every day, to the table I bring

Firstly, depression can make you confused

It's relentless and will hurt you with mental abuse

Do not throw in the towel, fellow warrior do not quit

It is time to show the world that you are mentally fit

I have a blueprint for survival, I can show you how to win

The first step is the hardest, it is now time to begin

The catalyst behind success is possessing self belief

When you enter the mental battlefield, combat offers you relief

When it comes to mental health, i can offer education

As well as wisdom, strength, positivity and also motivation

I wish I had someone like me when I was the same age as you

They could have prevented my depression from ever getting through

My friends i know exactly what it takes to succeed

If you're struggling right now, I can help set your mind free
