Invictus by William Ernest Henley
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.
Every Punishment you've ever subjected anyone to? You it to yourself everyday. Every minute. Your pain is Chronic. Your existence is pointless. When your consciouness blinks out- which it will, it will be as if you never existed at all. There will be no Lovers, no family or friends to think fondly of you the moment your hold over them colllapses. No memories for anyone to treasure but the ones you manufactured, which will dissolve into nothing the very moment you come to an end. You'll be forgatten immediately, and this, the immensity of your power- the magnitude of your abilities. "

Moreover, in order to understand any man one must be deliberate and careful to avoid performing prejudices and mistaken ideas, which are very difficult to correct and get over afterwards.
Poem
I demand that the human race
ceases multiplying its kind
and bow out
I advise it
And as punishment & reward
for making this plea I know
I’ll be reborn
the last human
Everybody else dead and I’m
an old woman roaming the earth
groaning in caves
sleeping on mats
And sometimes I’ll cackle, sometimes
pray, sometimes cry, eat & cook
at my little stove
in the corner
“Always knew it anyway,”
I’ll say
And one morning won’t get up from my mat
Bazen bizi şekillendiren şeyin zorluklarıyla yüzleşmek travmayı atlatmanın bir yoludur .
Bir adamın size özlemle bakması ifadesinin her yönünün arzu ve takdirle dolması gibisi yoktur .
Biz biri geçmişini hatırlamaya ihtiyaç duyan diğeri unutmak için dua eden iki kırık bireydik .
Anıları saklamanın en kötü yanı acı değil yalnızlığıdır. Anıların paylaşılması gerekir.
Birini tam tanımasam bile onu varlığımın her zerresiyle istemek ölümcül bir günah mıydı ?
Mükemmel ilişkiler yoktu masalsı sonlar yoktu ama yine de dünyanın en şanslı kadını olduğumu tüm kalbimle biliyordum. Mükemmel kahramanımı buldum. Ve hayatımın aşkını .
