Are you sure you can handle it? This poem was recited by the Oklahoma bomber, Timothy McVeigh, before his execution

Invictus

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 5
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, 10
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: 15
I am the captain of my soul.

Answer 4

Dark, Meaningful, For Anyone Who Has Had A Loss, That They Might Find Some Comfort In Knowing That Their Loved One Has No More Suffering.

Her eyes begin to close as the tears roll to the floor.
She knows death has pranced into the room for the reason of the kiss.
She hears the moon calling as the ocean whispers her name.
She lays there,
Her hand slowly begin to grow cold.
She is torn if she should go with them or not into the deep night sky.
She decides to stop fighting them for she knows they will not leave without her tonight.
Hearing the calling of her over and over again,
She my now rest her head with ease,
As she dances into the calling of the moon,
And the ocean's soft whispers.

Answer 5

Stories by Edgar Allen Poe. Also, you can check Nursery Rhymes from yesteryear. Like "Three Blind Mice?":
"They all ran after the farmer's wife,
she cut off their tails with a carving knife..."
"Jack and Jill:
"Jack fell down and broke his crown...:"
"Old King Cole":
"Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie."
"Hansel and Gretel":
(they get pushed into an oven!!).
They were quite morbid for kids to read!

Answer 6

Savage rain pelts my face,
no longer can i maintain this pace...
Though life continues to bring me pain
from this rich source much will I gain.
Bash me, bury me but do not try
to destroy our love and make me cry...:-(
