It's called "Invictus"... facing challenges head on, no excuses, and without blame towards anyone else but taking ownership for your choices. Falling, but not failing. Strength against all adversities. I want to share it with you...<br /><br />INVICTUS<br /><br /><br />Out of the night that covers me,<br />Black as the Pit from pole to pole,<br />I thank whatever gods may be<br />For my unconquerable soul.<br /><br />In the fell clutch of circumstance<br />I have not winced nor cried aloud.<br />Under the bludgeonings of chance<br />My head is bloody, but unbowed.<br /><br />Beyond this place of wrath and tears<br />Looms but the Horror of the shade,<br />And yet the menace of the years<br />Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.<br /><br />It matters not how strait the gate,<br />How charged with punishments the scroll.<br />I am the master of my fate:<br />I am the captain of my soul.That Spade Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08850374997872447017noreply@blogger.com
