No I won't forgive and no I won't forget

You say you're sorry But your not You want me to forgive But I won't You say something racist Then give this fake apology What do you want For me to forgive and forget But what you said Is permanently etched in my head So no I won't forgive and forget I won't give you the satisfaction I won't let you win I won't submit To this narrative Where you somehow make yourself the victim So you can take your 'apology' and shove it Because to me it's meaningless So you can choke on your fake guilt Instead of being a racist maybe you should go into acting Because this performance you nailed it But don't think I'll fall for it You knew what it meant You used it to torment Me To bully Me But you don't know the history You are so ignorant This is white privilege Because while your trying to unlearn your racism I and many other had to heal from the worlds hatred So excuse me If I don't forgive and forget So I won't pretend for your benefit
