Umbilical Cord

I've found myself with a
Umbilical cord,
Wrapped around my throat.
That's not how it should be,
I should be floating peacefully
Occasionally tugging on the little blue rope
Connecting me to my mother.
But no, it's aggressive now
It's choking and strangling
Too much to see, too much to hear,
Too much to feel.
I've found myself with a
Umbilical cord,
Wrapped around my throat.
I wonder now
Just how normal I'll be able to be born
If I've always had a noose around my neck.
