carrying this heavy body
carrying this heavy body
this body that is not mine
(I did not sign up for this)
I feel less judged than the others.
fallen
the sound of fallen leaves
leads me home
to a place I never knew
carrying this heavy body
even as
a tour group of freshmen approaches
I slink up concrete steps –
the gravity of discontent grows
fallen
and fallen leaves lead me home
to a place I have never known.

Original cover design was created using the Wombo Dream AI feature. I am working on re-designing the cover without the use of AI, but for now, design 1 is being used.
