Unlearn

Unlearn every story that I picked up

Unlearn

I burn all the pain that I tripped on

I burn

Reverse animosity I slipped on

Reverse

I yearn for the power that I came from

I yearn

You call it love, I call it trauma bonding

You say “play it cool”, I ask what you’re avoiding

We learn from women's words, I heard they're half the story

I walk out the door, I hear my mother tell me

“Be big, be brave, be special”

“Be big, be brave, be special”

Unlearn every story that I picked up

Unlearn

I burn all the pain that I tripped on

I burn

Reverse animosity I slipped on

Reverse

I yearn for the power that I came from

I yearn

Unlearn apologizing for my desire and anger

Unlearn the analyzing that tries to pull me under

Unlearn romanticizing the altar that we’re saved on

I hear my mother calling "remember where you came from"

"Be big, be brave, be special"

“Be big, be brave, be special”

Unlearn animosity I slipped on

Unlearn

Unlearn

I yearn for the power that I came from

I yearn
