I hate my braces yes I do
If you had braces you would too
They stop me from eating tasty treats
Like chocolates, fizzers and gummy sweets
Some days I can only eat very soft food
Those days leave me in not a good mood
Brushing and flossing getting in all the small places
Making sure to clean all of my braces
The poking and prodding of the dentists pliers
All just for tightening and changing some wires
Having ulcers is quite a pain
They always come back again and again
All the pain will be worth it in the end
To have straight teeth I will commend
