Exceptional a metaphor in free verse Obligations by Mintybee Artwork by willie at FanArtReview.com

Obligations, like spider webs, stick to me. I enter the room and run face-first into them: gobs landing in my hair, sticking to my face, clinging in my eyelashes. I try to pull them off, but now they're on my hands, under my nails, in the creases of my fingers. I try to shake them off, but they are not easily shed. I cannot be rid of obligations. Author Notes Does anyone else have a hard time saying no?
