Extricate

To heal is to put the weight down,
but if you’ve held it for too long,
it’s to unlearn who you are,
because you’ve internalized, calcified in your bones, singed in your neurons, furrowed in your brow, burrowed in your skeleton, stored in your very DNA, whatever it is that burdens you.

Like vines grow around a trellis,
you’ve grown around your trauma, accommodating, grafting,
becoming one with it.

Some is not even your own, but inherited,
or maybe you never even got the chance to
become.

So become,
metamorphosize,
detach,
unlearn,
unburden,
uproot,
and extricate
you
from who you became
to survive.
