Numb
Like when the dentist
Shoots novocaine
Into your gums
But you still feel something
"Pressure" he says
"Just pressure, not pain"
But that's a lie
Ripping out a piece
Of yourself
Hurts
Something wrong with this poem?

I haven't written much poetry so if you have any suggestions please let me know. I'm 21. I'm about to start college again after dropping out twice. I will be majoring in Public Service with a focus on Nonprofit Management. If you have questions about something I write or just about me in general go ahead and ask. If you're worried it's too personal ask anyway (except full name, address, or other potentially identifying information). If I don't want to answer I'll let you know. Thanks for reading my poems! :)
