That day in the autumn
I’ll always remember
It was the first step
I took to being untetheredWhen I reconsidered
the toll it was taking
I was forced to reevaluate
the choice I was making
There was nothing simple
about that first step
And in spite of the fear
the tears had been long ago wept
Each day passing since
I’ve reclaimed a piece of my truth
No more will I sacrifice
for another’s feeling to soothe
I’ve learned how my heart beats
seen my eye regain their sparkle
Nothing could be more precious
Than the peace I’ve found in this struggle
The knowledge I’ve gained
and the skin that I’ve shed
The Zen that pervades
as I sleep in my bed
So now you may wonder,
was this truth worth the cost?
All I can say is,
I‘m no longer lost.
