Strong Jaw

You were born with a strong jaw.

those teeth were going to break through those gums

and chew and chew so that you could swallow

whatever you were fed

so that you could handle what didn't taste likebitterness or love,

or anything at all,

 break it down to it's elements,

and let it go, and let it grow you.

you were born soft, meant to be cushioned,

but with the a definied jawline.
