ReJaMe

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 dont want to stand with the setting sun
And hate myself for the things ive done.

I dont want to keep on a closet shelf
A lot of secrets about myself,
And fool myself as i come and go
Into thingking that nobody else will know
The kind of person i really am;
I dont want to dress myself up in sham.

I want to go out with my head erect,
I want to deserve all peoples respect;
But here in the struggle for fame and pelf,
I want to be able to like myself.
I dont want to think as i come and go
That im 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 happen, i want to be
SELF-RESPECTING and CONSCIENCE FREE.
