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 to always look at myself straight intl the eye. I don't want to stand with the setting sun and hate myself for the things I've done. I don't want to keep on a closet shelf a lot of secrets about myself and fool myself as I come and go into thinking that nobody else will know the kind of person I really am. I don't want to dress myself up in shame. I want to go out with my head erect and I want to deserve all peoples respect. But here in the struggle for love and help I feel hopeless. I want to be able lIke myself. I don't wanna think as I come and go that I'm a bluster, bluff, and an empty show. I can never hide myself from me. I see what others may never eee. I know what others may never know. I can never fool myself and so whatever happens, I want to be self respecting and conscious free.
