Ache.

Stomachaches suck.
They cause so much pain and agony.
Often they keep me awake at night and have me rolling all over in discomfort.
Moving around in my bed, I curl up, stretch out, toss, and turn.
Aggravating stretches of sharp pain come and go unpredictably.
Curled up in a ball, I try to take the throbbing quietly.
How overjoyed I would be, to be rid of stomachaches forever.
Ah, that would be so great, not having to deal with the nuisances and
Catching considerable amounts of sleep without anything troubling me at night.
Having the luxury of not having stomachaches would be a huge uplift for me.
Even if it was for only the night.
Stomachaches really suck.
