Poem called Mental Health

Hello Scope online community
I think of sending my personal poem about struggling with mental health into a poetry writing opportunity I am thinking of applying for.
Poem called Mental Health
A young man Jay suffered with his mental health.
He comes from an ashen family where typically don't talk about our mental health the others outside the family.
I felt so depressed and could not rest.
I felt so stressed.
I guess my family was a bit worried about me.
My family took me to see my GP.
She made a referral to the Mind charity.
The councillor helped me to the route of my problems.
Which made me have a more positive outlook on life
I think need to find a passion in life
My poetry writing brought a positive light
So many people don't reach out for help.
Or yelp for help
Extend a hand to a person who needs help.
I have found my passion in life.
I hope one day to have a wife.
Who l can enjoy my life with
I feel it is important to embrace life with both hands.
New opportunities have arrived on my feet
He beat his depression into submission.
I found my poetry writing got me through difficult times.
I find praying always makes fears disappear.
As I wipe my tears.
As the day nears when I believe.
I tell myself I can achieve.
Now I am feeling ten.
I feel less stressed and depressed.
I count to two in my head, say whoosa.
At a quick rate.
I use a blank page in my notebook to express my emotions.
As I dream about oceans.
They are peaceful and tranquil places.
What a confident young man you have become.
I become numb whenever I enter my poetry into competitions.
I hope to succeed one day.
I am at ease now.
In my hour of need, the counsellors at Mind helped me.
Our minds are powerful tools.
We are pressure jewels
We all are so cool dudes.
