The Hidden Silent Pain
It Becomes Unbearable
A toothache it is
Bothering me constantly
As I try to ignore it
It just attacks me with full force
At first thought it would go away
My teeth sometimes are very sensitive
When I get a head cold
They remind me how uncomfortable I can be
I get fidgety and can't focus
I don't like loud noises
All my senses seem to be super keen
I don't have any desire to eat
I have made a dentist appointment
It is still two weeks out
I think irrational and try to pass it off
I pretend to make sense of it
As if I was captured and being tortured by the enemy
They slowly make me crack
It is me against myself
An inner turmoil I am forced to pick a side
I take to alieve
It is suppose to be for toothaches
They do help but even they have their limits
I try to think of anything to distract my mind
Each second feels like an eternity
As I open and close my mouth
Make so many facial expressions
I am not proud of
I don't have a high tolerance for pain
Each time I think I am getting stronger
By roughing it out
I am in the verge of tears
My teeth have always given me trouble
Years ago my family dentist told me I have soft teeth
It is hereditary from my parents
You do the best you can taking care of them
Brushing and flossing
Then you learn to deal with it
I find myself daydreaming and sometimes talking to myself
Trying to find a way
To work things out
No quick remedy
For that matter
A long painstaking process
Where my wife offered to help
I said there is nothing you can do
I have to wait it out
Finally I have relief
The pain has temporarily disappeared
I plan on going back to sleep
Not a minute to waste
Hopefully if it begins to act up again
I will be too far in dreamland to be pulled away
