My Feelings Were Hurt

My feelings got hurt several times today.

I woke up extremely sensitive 

From trauma nightmares 

My brain hasn't been right 

All day

I even fell all the way back and broke the recliner 

Several things have been said that hurt today 

But I'm being sensitive 

Not because of them

But because what they said represents 

I'm sensitive today 

But my feelings are real

My emotions are valid

Anyone who has lived through 

What I have 

Would feel the same 

Or 

Just be dead inside.

I need to sleep.
