Depressed Poem by Shea Mcneal

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 the 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
