</>(This poem was Inspired by the 23rd psalm 'n' the poem Invictus written by William Ernest Henley (1849–1903) <br /> <br />Sore as hell’s depth away from Mercy’s Coast, <br />The thick clouds of shadows that embraced my Bole. <br />Through the fierce winds that did me Howl, <br />I adulate the heavenly Host. <br />For my undaunted Spirit. <br /> <br />Tore by Situation’s claws Bits by Bit <br />Tossed by the hurricane of Fate, <br />My faith falter not nor Quit. <br />Dealt the violent bout of Bate, <br />I remain bloodied but unbowed. <br /> <br />Though I sail thru’ Scylla’s Shore <br />Encompassed by the insidious cohort’s of Fiends <br />When seduced by life’s slyly Whore <br /> And Squeezed by Treacherous Friends <br />I shall remain unshaken <br /> <br />It matters not the foe nor the arsenals <br />I did combat. I am the Architect of my Destiny. <br />I am the Premier of my Fate when courage leaks ‘n’ defeat gnarls <br />Though I fail at life’s every scrutiny, <br />I shall not surrender. The darkest night nor storm beside, <br />I am the Commander of my Soul. <br />’Tis not for the Stars nor Chance to will, ‘tis mine to decide <br /> I've conquered<br /><br />Dave BenOdafe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-ve-conquered/
