Overcoming Obstacles

A personal story in the experience: I Overcame Depression
L ost in the dark of 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 the hurt, I put it all in trash bags, and set them by the curb. I found stashed in a corner, tucked high up on 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 widows to my soul and let the light shine in.
