January Woes

January came with many hardships and disappointments
From a concussion to many dentist appointments
I found out that my wisdom teeth had to be extracted
because most of my wisdom teeth were impacted.

Moments after my surgery, I felt an intense pain in my mouth
This was an indication that my month would be heading south.
I stayed in bed for most of the week due to the swelling.
I did not exit my room which became my main dwelling.

I knew school work was accumulating with each day I missed.
Life in the new year was turning out to be a downward twist.
Yet, I had to keep my head up and have hope.
At this point in the month, I felt like I was climbing an endless rope.

Making up tests and my schoolwork were very time consuming.
However once all the work was finished, I felt my happiness blooming.
The month of January taught me a lot about disappointment and setbacks
School was awaiting me and I could not wait for my comeback.
