In The Wind - Aidan Mahoney


In The Wind



Once in the wind’s gust it is hard to escape

It pushes you back farther and farther

Draining you by the minute

When you try to guide your attention 

It pushes you back

When you want to achieve your goal it gains strength 

It pushes you back

It’s so simple and easy to work with the wind and turn around

But you will never reach what you want if that happens

The wind surrounds you

It pushes you back

It drives you in different directions

It pushes you back

It clouds your conscious with it’s loud roar

It pushes you back

It tears your eyes if you try to look ahead

It pushes you back

It seems to control your very emotion

It pushes you back

But one thing it can’t control

Is your motivation

You push it back

Your mentality

You push it back

Your energy regains once more 

You push it back

You can feel it’s gust growing weaker 

You push it back

The roaring stops

You push it back

You can see your direction once more

You push it back

And you can reach your goal

You push it back

  1. I dig the chiasmus, and the whole concept of the wind being the obstacles all of us seem to have is like something out of a Nike commercial. Really motivational.

  2. I think this is really relatable to many of us right now. Finding ways to persevere against each of our own "wind" is so important. Well done!
