Routes to your Roots

By Ausaru

From canopy to soil

We grow with the intention to never soil our soul

Til we’re sold screens that screen us from the world

Stripping away the bark we grew ourselves

To protect us from our world

A world full this, that, and decisions

Trying to pull back from incisions

Being chopped down for others revisions

Never seek the tree of life

Til your the strongest tree in your life

Only then will light grow your roots

And the sun will shine to light your route

Meaning:

Our conscious and subconscious absorb so much corruption throughout our lives. It sways our decisions, making them impure. Others will always critique those decisions. But if you stay true to yourself, your path will be clear.
