~invictus~

i stumbled on a poem called invictus recently.. in latin, it means unvanquished... but something in this poem.. i just cant describe.. inspires me.. to do more.. and believe in my capabilities.. especially the last 2 lines.. a great poem with deep meaning..

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.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

hope you enjoyed it.. ^^

a friend in need, is a friend indeed.. i must have been pretty unlucky lately... maybe some words of encouragement such as this would help..
