Poisonous Roots Poem by Tony Kavuoti

Poisonous Roots



You reach a point where you intentionally stop eating and believing that you are getting real nutrition from poisonous roots. (Metaphorically) . Or the roots pretended to be there for you but really were not, for what ever reasons, they were preoccupied with their own internal turmoil.This is difficult if you came from a place where the roots were there for you and good for you on some levels but underminding and undoing you on others. When you reach a point where you have the discernment to really tell the difference, deeply, even far beyond cultural and social perception, where your need for self fulfillment outstrips all of them, regardless of how intense or alluring or seductively they present themselves or they make themselves.
