Yo Boho Lady!

One day you will have figured it out
How to re-create what you felt in Leh
In the middle of Hyderabad.
You'll manage to create a life for yourself
That you don't feel like you have to
Run away or Escape from.

You will say no to things
That don't feel like fun.
The world's got nothing on you.

You will dance and sing in the streets
And look for Eagles at traffic jams.
You'll speak your mind
Give back as good as you get.

People will stare and think you're crazy.
Knowing what you know
It wouldn't matter one bit.
You live for you.

You'll finally stop hoarding things
And wanting people to stay in your life.
They can come and go as they please
For it doesn't affect you in an existential way.

You won't always be happy
You'll be cool with that.
You'll stop trying to control the outcome
By projecting everything into the future
Because you don't care how they turn out.
All that matters is you live true to you now.

You won't have any fixed destination
Often you don't know where you're going
Or how your plans are going to materialize
But you'll know whatever happens
You're going to be ok.
And even if you're not
You're ok with not being ok.

You'll finally realize
That this is what True Freedom looks like.
The Freedom you wanted all along
Will finally be yours.
