"Myself"
by
Anonymous
I have to live with myself and so
I want to be fit to know....
I want to be able as days go by
To look myself straight in the eye.
I don't want to stand with the setting sun
And hate myself for the things I've done.
......
I want to go out with my head erect..
I want to deserve all men's respect.
For here in the struggle for fame and self
I want always to be able to like myself.
I don't want to look at myself and know
That I'm bluster and bluff and empty show.
...
I can never hide myself from me.
I see what others may never see.
I know what others may never know.
I never can fool myself and so...
Whatever happens I want to be...
Self-respecting and conscience free!
...
