i think that perhaps,

i learned how to be strong and cold,

and how to bite,

and turn my baby teeth into sharp and raggedy ones,

to protect myself when what i needed was actually to be protected,

isn't it ridiculous?

how no matter i try i can't seem to manage to make my teeth dull and round again?

i'm starting to think that,

perhaps at this point,

i should have no teeth at all.
