Metal Mouth,

Metal Mouth.

In highschool,

if you have braces,

you're called a Metal Mouth.

Having braces is bad enough,

all the pain you have to endure.

But having people point it out,

is far, far worse.

It's like being the new kid at lunch,

with no where to sit,

or having gym first period,

and smelling bad for the rest of the day.

Ii wouldn't wish this on anybody.

Not even on my worst enemy.

I'm suprised it isn't considered a sin,

to make your child have braces in highschool.

You can't eat any good food.

"Nothing sticky",

is what the dentist told me.

No gum, or gummy worms,

even Jolly Ranchers are forbidden.

It's like being forced on a diet,

you never asked for.

What's even worse,

is having to face your Senior crush,

and try to give him a bright smile,

but instead you give me a smile of bolts,

and suddenly,

he's no longer interested.

My dentist said I would look cute with braces.

And man, was she wrong.

Because in highschool,

when you have braces,

all you are is a Metal Mouth.
