Ah, since I am new, I don't know the details, but I have come to realize that there must be something you have been fighting against, seemingly for a long time now. Whatever problems you have or are facing, I hope they disappear from your life like the wind someday. This poem was beautiful but dripping sadness at the same time. But you are right, because it takes a lot of living (and not just in years) to get to an ending that is triumphant.
