Love Poem: Over Coming Obstacles

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.
