QUOTE : Myself<br /><br />I have to live with myself and so <br />I want to be fit for myself to know.<br />I want to be able as days go by,<br />always to look myself straight in the eye;<br />I don't want to stand with the setting sun <br />and hate myself for the things I've done.<br />I don't want to keep on a closet shelf <br />a lot of secrets about myself <br />and fool myself as I come and go <br />into thinking no one will ever know <br />the kind of person I really am, <br />I don't want to dress myself up in sham.<br />I want to go out with my head erect <br />I want to deserve all men's respect;<br />but here in the struggle for fame and pelf<br />I want to be able to like myself. <br />I don't want to look at myself and know<br />I'm bluster and bluff and empty show.<br />I never can hide myself from me;<br />I see what others may never see;<br />I know what others may never know, <br />I never can fool myself and so, <br />whatever happens I want to be <br />self respecting and conscience free.
