I Am Wind

I am Wind,  a vortex in a cage.
I am Wind with the strength to cause a shift.
I am Wind as you blame me, 
I am your scapegoat
As you deny your own damage
And attempt to transfer it to me. 

But you seem to have forgotten, 
I am Wind. 
I have the strength of a tornado
As I bend the bars of your prison. 
Your eyes widen with the realization that I am Strength. 
Panic swells in your throat as you threaten me with hell, 
As you tell me I am powerless, 
As you pervert your authority. 

But you forget,  this is hell, 
And you were the demon sent to torture me. 
It is here that I rebel against your threats, 
Increasing my speed, forcing cracks in the bars. 

I am Wind,  I remember now. 
You may have convinced me long ago that I am nothing
Just a pebble unable to move, 
Doomed to stay within your lies. 
You really thought tormenting me would be worthwhile. 
Helpless against your own savage terrain, 
We both know this is not a place where my Wind can remain.

My vortex grows bigger,  faster,  stronger, 
Yet you try to tell me that I am weak,  worthless,  guilty.
You can only convince yourself. 
I may have forgotten once that I am Wind, 
But now that I am free
I will not forget again.
