MYSELF
Edgar Guest
I have to live with myself, and so
I want to be fit for myself to know;
I want to be able as days go by
Always to look myself in the eye;
I don’t want to stand with the setting sun
And hate myself for the things I’ve done.
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.
