Thumb
You think you beat me?
Think you've won?
Got one over?
Think I'm dumb?
Think I'd fall back?
Cower down?
Hide in my corner?
Mouth shut head down?
Think I'm finished?
I've just begun
You pin me down
I'll break that thumb
I'm rising up
Im on my way
I've got options
Don't have to stay
I won't be anchored
Will not be stilled
Done with settling
Unfulfilled
I'm soaring, weightless
One with the sun
Above the clouds
Not beneath your thumb
