Thanks for reading everyone!

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.

Cautionary

This was inspired by the poem Love Song by Dorothy Parker

I stare and get lost in seas of white and brown

But I know what’s coming and that gets me down

I love you more than I care to tell

I knew I was in trouble the moment I fell

At first you were only a friend

Now you are so much more

I know that someday it will end

This I choose to ignore

All too quickly, our love grew strong

But promise me this

You’ll remember my cautionary love song
