Oh scales, how I do envy them

[Lyn]

oh scales, how I do envy them
in order, balance, all restored--
making even what is not
so freely, they might look just bored

while I remain in chaos, noise
struggling to gather merest poise--
like teeth it tears me by my core
and confusion wraps me all the more

how am I supposed to tell
pin-point down, or even spell,
what makes me feel so incomplete?
I might just be encased in you
oh chaos-- my forever, bitter-sweet--
