Over Coming Obstacles
lost in dark depression
not knowing where to turn
i opened the windows to my soul
to see what i could learn
i swept up the depression
scrubbed the sadness and hurt
i put it all in trash bags
and set them by the curb
i found stashed in a corner
tucked high upon a shelf
a treasure chest of knowledge
that i could love myself
and wherever my future takes me
i know that i will win because
i opened the windows to my soul
and let the light shine in.
