A poem about teeth

Sterile surfaces.

Bright burning lights.

Shiny tools scattered about.

The sounds of drills and screams coming from the room next door.

I must be in a horror film.

Is there any chance I’ll survive.

His hands coming closer.

Fingers ready to grip.

What teeth will I lose today?

Questions I can never answer cause I have a hand in my mouth.

I hate the dentist.
