Story Out of the Darkness

[ShinigamiApples]

A weight lifted off my shoulders,
As I crawl out from the darkness,
Into the light of a new day,
Hope blooming in my heart.

It wasn't easy to reach this point,
The climb was steep and treacherous,
But I found the strength within me,
To keep pushing forward.

Slowly, steadily, the fog cleared,
The world came into focus,
And I realized that life could be beautiful,
If I allowed myself to see it.

I sought help and found support,
From friends, family, and professionals,
And with their guidance, I learned to cope,
To take control of my thoughts and emotions.

There will still be tough times ahead,
But I know I can face them now,
With the knowledge that I am strong,
And the hope that the future holds.

So I keep moving forward,
One step at a time,
Towards a brighter tomorrow,
Free from the weight of depression's hold.
