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
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 gait
Nor charged with punishment the scroll
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul

- Invictus by William Ernest Henley

This is one of my favorite poems of all time. I love the way it depicts emotion. To me it tells describes how I feel and how I am in command of my actions.
