Again I’m returning to Book 2 of my series “Transitioning” as I’m in a similar place today. Here is “The Haze has Lifted”.

Amazing place I’m in
Had shut down for a while
And enjoyed it
While I restructured

Gave too much of me
To everyone
With little in return
But no regrets

Needed this time here
To explore and feel
A new place
With unfamiliar people

Neglected some things
Lost some focus
Became too vulnerable
In the search for me

Comfortable in me
Focus restored
Priorities reestablished
Controlling my environment

Never lost my confidence
Just my faith
And more convinced than ever
It’s not me, it’s them

Have grown much
More aware of the strengths
And weaknesses
Within me

Was foggy here for a while
But the haze has lifted
And things are clearer
As my journey resumes
