Unhappy Tooth Day

A mind can't be healthy if the body is on strike

Here we freakin' go again... excuse my not-so-happy tongue

This a reminder of a thirty-day cycle that recently begun

First the throbbing pain from the neck to the face

Followed by abnormal swelling that screams something is out of place

The third time I have dealt with this in the past

Each time more worse than the last

Ugh, I don't have time for this...

Especially, not now, not right here

My eyes filled with water

Yet, I won't shed a tear

One set-back cannot hold me down

I am a queen and I deserve a crown

Life just might have it as a different color than gold

To be received in the shape of a silver tooth mold
