It is called a palindrome. Note, however, that a palindrome can also be a phrase, or a sentence. Here are a few classics: \nracecar\nradar\nA man, a plan, a canal: panama (ignore punctuation and spaces) \nmadam, i'm adam (once again, ignore everything that's not a letter)

palindrome\nA palindrome is a word, phrase, number or other sequence of units (such as a strand of DNA) that has the property of reading the same in either direction (the adjustment of punctuation and spaces between words is generally permitted). The word "palindrome" comes from the Greek πάλιν (palin) "back" and δρóμος (dromos) "way, direction". Composing literature in palindromes is an example of constrained writing.

It's called a "palindrome", like racecar... r-a-c-e-c-a-r. Cool, huh?\nAn "ambigram" can be read upside down the same. An example would be "pod" (like in a pea pod). Tilt your head upside down and see what I mean... : )

"homographs"  MAY fit your need, but more likely, to remove all doubt, you want "heteronym"\n\n"Homographs" ('written the same")\n-are spelled the same\n-differ in  meaning\n-MAY differ in pronunciation\n\n"Heteronyms" \n-are spelled the same\n-differ in  meaning\n-MUST differ in pronunciation\n\nhttp://www.magickeys.com/books/riddles/words.html\nhttp://www.sil.org/LINGUISTICS/GlossaryOfLinguisticTerms/WhatIsAHomograph.htm\n\n\n(It is true, though, that many use "homograph" as being exactly the same as "heteronym", e.g.,\nhttp://www.marlodge.supanet.com/wordlist/homogrph.html )

One synonym for "take it back" is "retract.". It is probably the only word that fits, and rhymes well enough.\n \n"You may think I will take it back,\n But these are words I shall never retract."
