A poem about my self

Hey this is a poem about my self and how my life is and
what i like and dislike its all in this poem about my self.


I have to live with myself and so
I want to be fit for myself to know what am doing,
I want to be able as days go by,
To look at 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 don't want to hide 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
What kind of girl iam,
I don't want to dress myself in shame.

I want to go with my head erect,
I want to deserve all men's respect
And to stuggle for my life,
I want to be able to like myself.
And to respect my self as well,
I don't want to look at myself and know
That I am a bluster and empty show.

I cannot hide myself from me;
I can see what others can never see;
I know what others can never know,
I cannot fool myself,

Whatever happens, I want to be
Self-respecting and conscience free.
