Pain in the

jaw.

My upper right wisdom tooth has been coming in for...oh, a year or so now. But now it's really starting to hurt. I can't open my mouth wide enough for a bite of food, every time I yawn it brings tears to my eyes, and for once, I am ready to go to the dentist. I just want to cut open the gum line and rip it out.

It's a total metaphor for my life and what I'm feeling right now.
