I feel like someone’s stomped my stomach to the ground.

I feel bruised and battered.

I feel weak from the inside out.

I ache and hurt and just want to be home now.

I want the comforting feeling that is my hot water bottle burning me from the outside inwards.

Sometimes that’s the only way to get to the pain-

to scold it.
