🍁🍁 FALL 🍂🍂

Covered in cloth
reaped from what I’ve sown

Covered in filth 
turmoil from the soil I lay in

Covered in shame
same burdens and last name 

Covered in doubt
confidence lost amidst the pain

Covered in hate
love couldn’t survive the drought 

Covered in sin 
I’m not willing or able to forgive 

Covered in insecurities 
self-defense mechanisms control me

Covered in flaws
mentally, emotionally and socially 

Covered in blood
these roots are dark and run deep

Covered in leaves
still within reach of my family tree

Seasons change, I remain the same. Captive to these roots, labeled with their name.
