how to stop grinding my teeth
i thought i stopped that whole self-destruction
a long time ago but now i just do it
in my sleep. does this count if I was unconscious?
i thought about the benefits of grinding teeth
a strong jaw, dreams about eating
noise to scare off the unwanted ghosts
friends and family are worried sick
one day all our teeth and hair
would fall and leave us anyway
so why do we care?
my ex best friends won’t talk to me
my fears haunted my dreams
my life seems fine but really though?
my poems are never gonna be published
i should have known better
when i used the word “gonna”…
can i fix my reality
like grammarly fixed my typos
how long can i fool myself
that i am fine
when everything about this poem
is wrong.
