To go back in time
Before everything went sour
To go back in time
When I could just be me
Before I learned
I wasn’t enough
When I still had his affection
His warmth
To go back in time
Before I was a girl
Before I hated being a girl
To go back in time
Before I flinched
From his touch
Before I learned to fear
The hands that once
Held me tenderly
To go back in time
When things were easy
And gentle
And I was loved
For being me
To back in time
Before I learned to hate
Before I knew dread
To go back in time
And claim myself
