Faithless Is He Who Says Farewell When The Road Darkens

Rather let me fail,
than never to have tried at all.
Come what may,
nothing short of death will see me cry defeat.
Rule every moment.
Seize every day.
By storm. By the throat.
With every breath I take.
It's not what you cannot do,
it's what they told you you cannot do;
So fire your gun into the mouth of doubt.
Let the masses dictate themselves.
I am not now theirs, nor will I ever be.
They won't crush my hope.
They can't smash my dreams.
I am not inspired by men without faith.
I am not deterred by events that cause the average man to break.
Rule every moment.
Seize every day.
