It's a gnawing pain.
It's a dull ache.
It's a strong, deep ache at the same time.
Through the roots, down into bone--it never stops.

I tap my feet, I hum, I try not to think about it
Try to put the pain somewhere else
It shoots like lightening, up everywhere
You can't tell where it started--it's all over. Every inch.

A stab to your jaw, a sharp nail being slowly wedged inside your tooth, wrecking it apart.
Going up to your nose, your eye, your ear.
But at the same time, going nowhere.

Take another prescribed pill to try to stop the pain
It's not working, it's shooting up again

Clench your teeth together because of the hurt
But when you relax, the biting has made it worse

I WANT TO RIP THEM OUT.

I'm sorry. I guess I'm emo today. I had my root canal done and man, it hurts. It's that gnawing pain you have when you get a loose tooth as a child, and you bite into something knowing it's going to hurt, but you do it anyway.

I now understand why people rip out their own teeth. I'm doing everything I can to not mess with it.
But it's really, really driving me crazy.
I wish I could draw. I would draw a picture, but I can't even draw stick figures appropriately. I fail.
I'm so done with Pepsi. Every time I want a sip, I'm done. I'm not having any more.
It's the reason I hurt so bad. The reason my teeth are dying or dead. The reason my teeth are ugly.
I hate it.
I'm done.

Sorry for the rant.
I hurt.
