Unlearning
Jun 3, 2022
A poem
Childhood taught her judgment
She was harshest with herself
In unlearning, she found self-love
.
School taught her silence
A million questions she suppressed
In unlearning, she found curiosity
.
Work taught her to be busy
Her days she filled with toil
In unlearning, she found freedom
.
Society taught her to value looks
She chased impossible ideals
In unlearning, she found beauty
.
Expectations taught her responsibility
Pleasing others became a priority
In unlearning, she found herself
