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,
Yet the menace of the years finds
And, shall find me, unafraid.
It matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishment the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
William Earnest Henley
Hope that helps a little bit.
unafraid.

I referred to Invictus in a thread about the troll I was beating up on.
All in all, I think it a weak poem.
But that's just me.
