Clenched Jaw

Growing up in purest innocence Greeted as a friend Groomed with a fine tooth comb Grabbed unexpectedly Groped involuntarily Grouping parts of self Gripping deeper fears Grinding self image Gritting teeth Gryping of opportunity lost Grifting gratification Grappling with truth Grieving childhood missed Gripping reality loosely Grousing silently Graduating in faith Grinning of small hopes Granting mercy Graced with love Jaw Relaxes 9/17/17

It is, but the moment surprises the tightest jaw. It is mind-blowing and earth shattering at the same time
