Gravity weighs on her.
 “Only a theory,” She thinks.        she shouldn't be capitalized   oops! typo
 
Struggling to get above ground,   curious why you don't like "ground".  "stay"?
it pulls her down.                         drop period, let the line continue into next stanza   yes, I have been feeling that too.  Just hadn't gotten there yet.
 
To the center of herself,
the places she doesn’t want to know.   I can't think of how to elaborate without losing the link between "..doesn't want to know" and "ignorance is bliss"
 
“Ignorance is bliss,” she thinks.      comma instead of period?
Gravity never let her go.                 but gravity never lets go   yes, but I don't like the "but".  seems weaker.  Original was "Gravity won't let her 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".
As always, thanks for your time.  I am very grateful for you input.  This is a huge learning process for me so any insight is helpful.
