My Invictus – apologies to William Ernest Henley
Out of the day that defines me,
Summer blue and cloudy sky,
I know in order to be free
That a part of me chose to die
In the burden of my shame
I did not tell a living soul
No longer will I take the blame
Not for what they took, but stole
Deep in that place of wrath and tears
I will step out from shade,
And let the menace of the years
Inside my head be no longer played
I cannot change past behaviour,
But I will strive to be whole,
Only I, can be my saviour,
I will be the healer of my soul.
