There is a single pile of wires cluttering my living space.
It grabs onto my feet, and threatens to trip me.
Everyday I shake my innocent feet free.
Sometimes, it gets wrapped around my feet,
and tangled in my toes.
I pull, and push it out of the way.
It's a Friday when the pile grows exponentially.
I attempt to walk over it,
like I had done so many times before,
but it doesn't let me.
It slithers up my legs and tugs,
and tugs,
and tugs.
I fight its grip with all my might,
looking for leverage on the walls, and the table.
but I could not find a thing to keep me stable.
It yanks me down.
I land face first onto to floor.
It snakes around my wrists, and pulls me into itself.
I push it away from my face, but it comes back stronger.
It wraps itself around my neck.
I will never be free.
