My teeth
    wisdom teeth
    are out
laughing gas
    doesn't have me laughing
    can't seem to feel ok
    salivating hurt
    attention span
out the window
who to know where is here
here is now
but im not near
the fear that sometimes
    I cannot shake
       surrounding, a reality
    of fools making the rules
    Im angry Im anxious
    living in a screen
      Is not the way to be
    I remind myself
take deep breathes
    and write
    and write
because that is what
I can do
that is what I can do
