Even As A Child Poem by Tony Kavuoti

Even As A Child



As a Child growing up the adults would hit me,

holler and yell at me,

even as a child I knew there was something toxic and irrational deep inside of them

and they were venting the destructiveness of themselves that they could not face onto me

and telling me it was for my own good. I see how this contaminated my relationships in the present.

Stayed in toxic relationships at times way too long.

Sabotage what I really wanted and needed in relationships.


Unless there was drama, emotional poison, I do not think it was love.
