Weight

Life seems heavy tonight,

the kilograms of responsibility

have gained mass

and congregated on my shoulders,

adorning my neck

like a lead pendant,

I feel every ounce of pressure

every milligram of stress,

I am weary of the fight

of the struggle.

Tomorrow I will be rested,

rejuvenated by my travels

through Morpheus' Realm.

My shoulders will be strong,

my problems diminished

as I don gravity boots

to prevent myself from

ascending on a cloud of

weightlessness.

Anything will be possible

tomorrow,

where life is light.

. i am in awe of the million beautiful (and scientifically accurate ways) in which you have justified the title, dear shelley ... "kilograms", "mass", "lead", "ounce", "milligram", "gravity boots", "weightlessness", "light" ... your spectacular word choices and vivid imagery are inspiring ... i sincerely hope the universe rewards you with all the rest you need for writing this gem of a poem :) ...
