Invictus
Out of the night the 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 out loud. In the pure bludgeoning of chance, my head is bloody but unbowed.

Through 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, nor how charged with punishments the scroll. I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.
Poem

If I can't do a UK poem, here is a Jamaican one:
If We Must Die
If we must die, let it not be like hogs
Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot,
While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs,
Making their mock at our accursèd lot.
If we must die, O let us nobly die,
So that our precious blood may not be shed
In vain then even the monsters we defy
Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!
O kinsmen! we must meet the common foe!
Though far outnumbered let us show us brave,
And for their thousand blows deal one death-blow!
What though before us lies the open grave?
Like men we'll face the murderous, cowardly pack,
Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!

Send Help!

Send help! I'm trapped

in this desolate barren world

Disdain and rejection

met my every chance at escape

Send help! Please I'm stuck

I'm afraid I might die here

It won't be long

The end is near

Oh wait.

It's push not pull

Tomorrow at dawn, by Victor Hugo
Poem
https://genius.com/Victor-hugo-demain-des-laube-annotated
Tomorrow, at dawn, when the countryside is
white , I will leave. Do you see, I know you're waiting for me.
I will go through the forest, I will go across the mountains.
I can not stay away from you any longer.

I will walk with my eyes fixed on my thoughts,
Without seeing anything outside, without hearing any noise,
Alone, unknown, my back bowed, my hands crossed,
Sad, and the day for me will be like night.

I will not look at the evening gold falling,
nor the sails in the distance going down to Harfleur,
And when I get there, I will put on your grave
A bouquet of green holly and heather in bloom.

<<水調歌頭>>  作者：蘇軾

明月幾時有？把酒問青天。
不知天上宮闕，今夕是何年。我欲乘風歸去，又恐瓊樓玉字，高處不勝寒。起舞弄清影，何似在人間！
轉朱閣，低綺戶，照無眠。
不應有恨，何事長向別時圓？人有悲歡離合，月有陰晴圓缺，此事古難全。
但願人長久，千里共嬋娟。

我的鳥：

我擁有兩隻鳥，
手指都要咬，
释去籠子做體操，
天上大便向我朝。

早上凌晨吵吵吵，
給它食物咬咬咬，
大便都是搞搞搞，
阿姨威脅烤烤烤。
