Weighted with my words enshrined.
Cinderblocks of thought pressing into paper
Penning palaces out of paragraphs.
Do the walls of my words rise into a fortress of safety?
Or
Tip and sway like the scales of Libra?

Weighing words of the heart against a feather
Scales creak and squeak
Pencil and pen, scratch and roll
Anxiety of uncertainty sure takes a toll.
