hanging in the balance
She was hanging in the balance
Suffering the tirade of his hurtful words
Feeling the blows as he pounded away at her soul
She finally stood - finding she could gain her equilibrium
She found a form of balance in her unbalanced life
Because
They were hanging in the balance
Three cherubic innocent ones
Crying out for chance to grow
Needing a solid foundation to build a life on
Questing consistency, reliability and love
That a confident new She could provide.
she had a hard choice to make.. I could feel the need for balance in this poem.mysty
