Trigeminal Neuralgia

Only we, having TN, feel the beast within
Riding that wave of pain. Others thinking we're insane
Saying "Don't be a pup. You're making it up"

We only wish they had just a lick
So they know how it makes us sick
Let them wear that shoe. They'd be screaming too
Locking their jaw --agony exquisitely raw ! -

But its such on another I couldn't hope
So amongst us troopers, we will grope
And find the strength before we're spent
Searching for that holy grail.

The calm peaceful sea to sail once again
Sharp of mind and full of fun
No longer depressed and dumb
The vacant gaze, the world a constant haze

Then every moment of life I will seize
And maximum pleasure from it squeeze
Please please please release me from this disease !!!
