i am very simple person. my life is like a blank paper which badly needs somebody to write somethin' on it.nothin' much about me..here's one of my favourite poem(final written statement of Timothy Mcveigh, Oklahoma city bomber).



Invictus is the Latin word for unconquerable.


Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as a 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.


originally by William Ernest Henley 1875



"birth, death, art,humanity, those four things are the only things that exist. everything else is just made up"
