Edgar Guest - MyselfEdgar Guest - Myself
Work rating: High


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 the things I have 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 no one else will ever know the kind of person I really am, I don`t want to dress up myself in sham. I want to go out with my head erect I want to deserve all men`s respect; but 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 bluster and bluff and empty show. I never can 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.
