Beginning

Just needed to make a space on the web for my mature (and mostly immature) thoughts.

Tired of feeling constrained to just the thoughts in my head and the words I can't say you know?
If anyone happens to stumble across this, I would not recommend reading this if you know me. It's personal and it's bound to get ugly.

With that said, these words have always a factor in my actions. I might not always abide by them, I might doubt their worth every once in a while...But they always ring out like Scripture to a man of faith.

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.

-Invictus by William Ernest Henley
