You have injured me
I do not know your intended target
Whether he or I it does not matter
As he is I and I am him
I am choosing a different path
Any time your need causes you to inflict damage upon us
I will use it as a signal to speak of nothing but your kindness, compassion and love
I will gather my strength and place all of my energy into change
For your actions have reminded me of something greater that you have yet to know
Read slowly and take in every word below
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.
