"Invictus" was written by British poet William Ernest Henley. Henley contracted tuberculosis of the bone at age 12. He eventually had to have a foot amputated as a result. Still, he led a long, fruitful life. (Click here to read Wikipedia article about William Ernest Henley)
I feel this poem exhibits a wonderful defiance in the face of adversity. Please check it out.

Very great poem. It makes you think. I'd have to say that sometimes I try to place blame on other people for uncomfortable situations i've been in, which is absolutley rediculous. I'm in control of me, my thoughts, actions,or lack thereof.
