My Destiny Within

I bent my will into the wind,
a final last rebuttal

And felt it rage against my soul,
in anger that was total

I pressed again, and then again,
and waited for an answer

It blew back hard, and harder still,
its force a rabid dancer

One last time I pushed it back,
its vortex caving in

Whose fury split in breezes tamed
—my destiny within
