Questions and TensionJanet Kuypers6/8/16
My stomach’s sort of in knots. Apparently my mouth was big enough.
Now, after all this time for removing a bone from my body.
So yeah, I’m feeling a bit nervous, and tell me to open wide.
And after they inject me over and over, they shot me with,
or if it’s that medic inches from my face and he starts to tug. Pull. Even twist.
But not thirty seconds pass they didn’t even give me any pain medication.
And all I could think was that remove all of their teeth like that?
Thirty two bones, just a little tugging,
I don’t know, maybe it was the drugs, to pull out many little bones, all at once.
