'persistence Is Key'

Persistence is key, I know this for a fact

When making a decision, I am always fast when I choose to act

Please let me be your main source of inspiration

When it comes to learning new skills from me, perceive it as education

I always work my hardest, I generate progress each day

No matter how desperate my situation becomes, I tell myself I'll be ok

Each day I try to transform into the best version of myself

This ensures I remain strong when it comes to my mental health

Since recovering from stage three cancer, I have this unique way I choose to see life

I am still here, my mind is so clear, no matter what, I know I'll survive

I possess so much gratitude, each day that passes I decide to reflect

Any negativity that tries to break in, my initial response is to deflect

I've struggled and I've suffered, I've been tortured by depression

It taught me to remain strong under pressure and made an immediate impression

I'm getting closer to my target, I'm striving for perfection

Forward steps are helping to guide me in the right direction

Positivity flows through my body and my mind

I'm on the trail of my illness and I'm not too far behind

I'm positive, I'm dedicated and I'm full of ambition

My main attribute is that I'm a master tactician

When people hear my poetry, I hope they can relate

Allow my words to resonate and aide your mental state

Before I entered my recovery, I was depressed and I was broken

I eventually found my inner strength and a warrior was woken
