Invictus
-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.

Come to me
the moon is closer than your eyes
I can barley see through the cracks
light shines out my scars
Sirens scream in vain
I have already died
a million times inside
I surrender
Shoot me down
No bullet could stop me now
My love does not depend on anyone or anything
It will never die.
I’m ticking like a time bomb
soon to blow away
I am not you
you are not me
but we can still play
I could say I love you if only for a day
My mind sunk this ship I am drowning in
I surrender
Shoot me down
No bullet could stop me now
My love does not depend on anyone or anything
It will never die.

Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
“Tom orrow” I say! “I will call on Jim
Just to show that I’m thinking of him.”
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner, yet miles away,
“Here’s a telegram sir,” “Jim died today.”
And that’s what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.
Don’t be afraid to express yourself.
Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.
Because when you decide that it is the right time it might
be too late.
Seize the day. Never have regrets.
And most importantly, stay close to your friends
and family, for they have helped
make you the person that you are today.

I am on my way to get back my old lost friends. And this couldn’t have been more appropriate time to receive this forwarded email.

Christmas. Had Vodka. funny part was I just had two pegs.

December 31, 2007. Late night, when everyone was off to party as the new year was about to break in, I was inside a small dark room, blessed to be away from all the crowd outside and be with the best company I could ever get. that was recent experience of pure and extreme bliss.

Did something you shouldn’t have
Hmm. Nothing I have ever done makes me feel I shouldn’t have done it. I am a no regrets person. rarely disagree to my past decisions. and am arrogant too.

What is Expensive? Its either ” I can Buy it” or ” I can’t.” I don’t label anything as expensive.

Played a practical joke on someone
lot of times. no time as of now to play such tricks.

Felt nervous in someone’s company
Never. But I generally hate crowds, so I would rather be with few close people than to meet strangers.

Felt beautiful
Few days back, when i tried on my new heels. such powerful sentiments attached to that one.

Felt unattractive
Not usually. I don’t really measure attractiveness like other females, so as long as my brain is intact, I am ever attractive.

Threw a party
Every other night. but no crowd allowed.

Were the centre of attention
I would love to be, all the time. so I usually am.

Felt betrayed
When things doesn’t happen the way they should, I feel like that often.

I Don’t. Urm. Just Did.

Were scared
Not that I remember, nothing in recent past.

Felt glad to be you
Every Morning. I am better as ‘ME’ than anyone else. lol.
