Gravity weighs on her.
 “Only a theory,” She thinks.        she shouldn't be capitalized
 
Struggling to get above ground,
it pulls her down.                         drop period, let the line continue into next stanza
 
To the center of herself,
the places she doesn’t want to know.
 
“Ignorance is bliss,” she thinks.      comma instead of period?
Gravity never let her go.                 but gravity never lets go



My wife doesn't like the cliche of "ignorance is bliss" but I think it works here.  What do you all think?

I think it being in quotes makes all the difference, as you are quoting a thought
Poem could be improved with more elaboration, I think, more specifics about "the places she doesn't want to know".
