A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 62

Day 62: “Canker Sore”


I have a canker sore

A huge one

In the back of my mouth

Right side


It hurts


I showed my boyfriend

Opened wide and shined a flashlight

He said he didn’t even need the light

It’s that big


I get them when I’m stressed

Makes sense why I have one now


I need a break

A breather


Deep breaths

In

Out

In

Out


Maybe a couple days off will help


A day in bed

Staring at my phone

Is bound to do the trick


A nice long shower

Self care


There

The pain will magically go away
