Horse Teeth

Horse teeth,

I'm sorry that I was taught to hate you

That I hid you when I smiled

I'm sorry I tried to shave you down

As if you weren't the shape you were supposed to be

I'm sorry that I criticize you

Every time I look into a mirror

Horse teeth,

I never should have been ashamed 

In the first place

You are what radiates in my smile

Big yet beautiful 

I've had to learn to love you

As I cannot change you

You were meant to be this way

Not uniform, not perfection

I praise you

In all of your glory

That you shall never be hidden

Or undermined by those who see any different

I've got one tooth (bicuspid?) that is shorter than the other on the opposite side. It bothers the hell out of me.

You're quite poetic, nicely done. :)

Somebody should send your poem to all those Hollywood actors with perfect smiles and enormous orthodontic bills! Nicely done.
