It's here I sit looking
Wondering when or how
Or if I can make it out
Of this hole I see myself in
I wonder if I will ever see the light
One given to me during the worst of times
The Light I did turn down,
But that makes me wonder how
It would of been if I took the light
I saw that day
So here I sit week after week
In this dirty slum
I then see a window approaching me
I realize the window was always there
I just never thought to climb it
When I open the window i realize
I just had to open my eyes to the world
Not the one of which I dream
To be content with life is true happiness
Or in other words a shining light
Which The window helped me find

what helped me write this poem was the slum of depression I just came out of, and wanted to inspire people with the experience
