I Hurt

i've never been through anything traumatic.
so why does it hurt so bad when I think about it?
You'd think somebody died
the way I feel it in my gut
This sensation of pure dread.
Muscular hands squeezing my intestines
twisting and twisting until they tear apart.
And not even one drop blood.
So why does it still hurt me so bad?
It sounded funny in my head,
But i've never said it out loud before.
