A Troubled Soul

Falling into a fitful sleep
I tossed and turned throughout the night
writhing in agony
I was battling with my inner demons
My husband woke up
and could see I was troubled
he put his arm round my waist to comfort me
I breathed in deeply
quivered
then let out an enormous fart
my inner demon had finally been released
oh what a relief!
