She felt the weight
The weight of it all
She felt the weight
Of waiting to fall
She carried the weight
Upon her shoulders
Of a thousand mistakes
Pebbles turned boulders
She saw her weight
A number on a scale
Heavy her mind weighed
On a frame so frail
Under such weight
She was nearly crushed
Her screws and nails
Began to rust
It never ended, her wait
Freedom never replaced it
It never left, her weight
She simply learned to brace it
