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 straight in the eye; I don't want to stand, with the setting sun, And hate myself for things I have done . I don't want to keep on a closet shelf Alot of secrets about myself, And fool myself,as I come and go. Into thinking that nobody else will know The kind of women I really am; I don't want to dress myself up in sham. I want to go out with my head up, I want to deserve all men and women respect; And here in the struggle for fame and wealth, I want to be able to like myself. I don't want to look at myself and know That I'am a bluffer,an 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 What ever happens,I want to be Self-respecting and guilt-free.Birth sign: Aries
