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 foul 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.


Pinamemorize samin yan nung 4th year hs kami. Dati ko masyadong maintindihan ang meaning ng poem na yan. Basta ako memoryado ko kasi may grade eh. Tas I stumbled this poem again via web. Inintindi ko sya. It's about life. Your struggles, accomplshments. Masyadong pawerful sakin yung last two lines. Kaya pala pinakabisado samin kasi 4th year na kami at kami na ang bahala sa tatahakin naming buhay. Wala na sila para gabayan kami.
