Invictus by William Henley read by Morgan Freeman | Inspirational Poetry

I was in jail once, for a terrible crime I had not committed. The military had left me to rot, but of all things, my gaming group contacted my mother, concerned for my well being because I hadn't been on. After 4 months, I had been beaten down, mentally, physically, and emotionally. But my group sent me a letter, and within that letter, my best friend had included this poem. I hadn't cried once during the whole ordeal, from the first day until then. I went back to my cell and cried for the first time since I'd been incarcerated. Not tears of sadness, but tears of hope. I may yet be awaiting the final resolution of my hell, but I am free. I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul. Edit as of June 5th, 2024: this has been an INSANE ride. The Judge and Prosecutor have been fired due to corruption (taking kickbacks from prisons for sending people there), and the investigator was fired for substance abuse while on the job a while ago. I have no clue what’s going on anymore at this point. This county is INSANE.

Let’s face it, Freeman could read aloud the back of a cereal box and it would sound poetic.

Invictus BY WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY 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 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, 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, I am the captain of my soul.

This brings such peace and comfort to my life, I just hope it does for you as well.

Morgan Freeman (one of my favorites) is blessed with a voice that is so well suited for reading poetry...

One of my favorite poems. It is a bit disconcerting to hear the people misquote the poems, though. It wouldn’t matter so much in prose, but in poems, it affects the flow, rhythm and texture of the writing.

Morgan Freeman conveys the stoic strength of Invictus very well!

This peom was a lifeline for Nelson Mandela during his many hard years of inceration

It may be late in life for me but finaly 🌟i am the master of my fate❣i am the captain of my soul ❣when I start to lose myself i listen to these words❣and get back up to face the world😢🦋

I love his voice and his entire persona

My mother would recite this poem, and upon hearing this it made me wish I would have remembered that so it could have been read at her memorial. 😞

Beautiful words. Made me cry and happy at the same time 💖

This poem has helped me to find peace in my heart.

Now that's is a great reading of poetr, beautiful! Timing, pause, meaning, flow.

This moves me to tears! Love this poem & Morgan freeman. Can’t imagine another to read it so powerfully & gracefully. 🙏🏽❤️

Never fall for the lies of others. Truth screams at you, your soul hears. From there? The worst lies we hear are the ones we tell ourselves. There is no such thing as futility. To each action there is a reaction. Injustice is met with righteousness. Failure isn't a judgement of intent, but logistics and variables. Review, contemplate, plan and execute... repeat as necessary. Failure isn't terminal... hopelessness is. Blessings and peace to all... a shit-storm may occur but provides the ingredients for renewal and growth.

I absolutely love this...more & more every time I listen to it 👍🏼👏🏼✌🏼❤️

very beautiful poem. The soul was filled with bright energy, thank you.🙂

This is the poem I come to again and again after my stroke. That no matter how dark my day I will get better.

A moving reading of a wonderful poem.

It's so perfect for my best friend! He's been in intensive care for a week now from brain surgery. I do not know if he'll make it, but he is a warrior. I do not want to have any expectations; all I know is that whatever happens, he has lived to the fullest of life has offered to him. This is my favorite poem, and Morgan Freeman is one of my favorite actors.

It doesn't matter what Morgan Freeman reads it sounds amazing, He could read an instruction manual for an electric toaster and it would still be worth listening to.

Thank you Morgan Freeman! Very timely reading of this wonderful poem.
