It is Winning

Ugh ... I decided that Bri's room wouldn't be finished until I completed my first custom lamp
My first effort to have a product to sell
My very first thing that incorporates all my talents ... or whatever

It is winning though. The thing refuses to become a thing.
It is mocking me, whispering "I'm not a thing."
Smiling like I'm chained up and it is just beyond my grasp.

& that, my friends, is how it will lose!
The last thing that mocked me was tied down and tortured
Conquered, dismayed ... humbled

I have to say to this thing that refuses to be a thing
That I am a person that refuses to
Be stopped by a thing
Least of all a thing that is merely something that I
Have yet to learn to do
