If I do yoga but today

I really kind of want to say...

"Stop!"

"Get out"

"I'm feeling mad!"

...is this so horribly, terribly bad?

Yogis are calm, they smile a bunch

They stretch and breathe and eat tofu for lunch...

So how to explain my very dark mood

My glumness and sorrow and craving for food?

Chocolate cake and cheesy wraps

Potato chips and gingersnaps!

Life is different every day

I guess I should see that it's OK

To feel bad once in a while

To frown a little, not always smile

Because whenever I'm on my mat

I know I accept wherever I'm at

Not judging myself: am I good or bad?

Is this the worst day I've ever had?

Simply breathing...seeing what's new

This is the way that I get through

The times I feel not enough

When I'm mad or sad and life is tough!!

Namaste
