Paperweight

Paper Weight

By Grace Dynako


I want all that life has to offer

But sometimes I bite more than I can chew

It’s easy to be engulfed in this big, exciting world

It’s almost dangerous

Sometimes I think back to thick blankets

Or a balloon on a string

Something that was grounding me

It’s easy to be lost

But it’s even easier to lose yourself

I need a balance

That’s why I write

So I can never forget

And lose track of life
