INVICTUS

How I wish to God that I want to be as strong as a soldier who is not afraid to fight for what he truly believed. Then I, who is only a little bud of rose but maybe later or sooner I will be bloom and grow, is afraid to face my future. It's not because I am too weak but because I am so afraid to commit mistakes that I would make my family disappointed because through out my entire life my family is always there veryproud of me.

But right after realizing the true meaning of the poem Invictus something inside me comes alive. It is I myself who is now ready to face and continue my walk to reach the gate of my destiny and what ever happened, how heavy the struggles become and number of mistakes I'd done. Here, I am ready to stand again and continue my walks with trust and faith in God.
