Weight

SheWasTheSun

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
