invictus

out of the night that covers me
black as the pit from pole to pole
i thank whatever gods may be
for my unconquerable soul
in the fell clutch of circumstance
i have not winced nor cried aloud
in the bludgeonings of chance
my heady is bloody but unbowed
beyond this place of wrath and tears
looms the horror of the shade
and yet the menace of the years
finds and shall find me unafraid
it matters not how straight the gate
how charged with punishments the scroll
i am the master of my fate
i am the captain of my soul


william ernest henley

*my absolute favorite poem ever...
think about it
