Sober Girls Yoga Poetry

Whose That Girl

She thought she was a rebel. But she was drinking the poison they fed her to quiet her mind and dimming her light instead of letting it shine.

So she put out her cigarette and put down her drink. She rolled out a yoga mat and finally, she could think.

She realized that her unhappiness was not a misfortune put on her by others but a path she had been herded towards and she still had time to turn around.

She changed her direction. And began to walk against the crowd. She pushed and she shoved and she found a new path. When they told her she was lost she never looked back.

At first it was a lonely walk there was no one with which to talk but along the way she found a wise guide. When she asked them which way to go. They told to her to look inside her heart to find true north.

So she sat down along her way. She squeezed her eyes tight and breathed deep into her lungs. And she could not believe what was in her sight.

Her heart did not tell her to go left or go right or west or east. Her heart told her she was exactly where she needed to be.

So she slowed her pace and looked around.

She drank fresh water and ate what grew from the ground. She nurtured her body and practiced using her mind.

She gathered sticks and built a home started a fire to make it cozy and warm.

From time to time another wanderer stumbles by and she welcomes them in.

And when they ask her which way to go she says “look inside your heart to find true north”
