The Down Parts In Life

Ray Of Hope

There are many paths to choose in life.

Some people find their path right away,

some go on one,

then turn back around.

I walked down the path of depression.

It is too late for me to turn around,

I walked too far.

I didn't chose this path,

I was bound to travel this road.

Each step I take is a story,

one to be told and shared.

I walk deeper and deeper in this black hole,

hoping and dying to find an exit.

I look around and see darkness,

it is too dark to see hope,

or happiness.

I am left with sadness,

and the sound of my sorrow thoughts.

I can't travel this road alone.

I need to find the hope inside me.

I sit down,

and try to find myself.

I know I must have some happiness inside me.

I must find the switch inside me,

and turn off my depression.

I look up from my horror,

and see a faint light.

A ray of hope,

a cry for faith.

I found my switch,

I turned on my happiness,

it is calling me to enter

it's bright,

and faithful world.

I run to the light,

faster than my legs can take me.

I take my last few steps of despair,

and walk into the blinding bright sunshine.

I stepped into happiness.

I left my sadness behind

and surrounded myself with love.

I am no longer lost,

I am found.

I am no longer hopeless,

I have everything to hope for.

I may walk with pride,

but my past is still on my shoulders.

I will never forget the sorrow I felt,

the pain I went through.

My past became my best friend,

it tells me to keep walking on.

My depression is no longer my enemy,

I wear it as a badge on my chest.

In that magical moment,

I changed the path of my life.

I found myself,

and became everything I wished to be.
