Poetry Tuesdays: "Songs of Myself"

Songs of Myself

I only know how to be

myself

I can only be me

I only feel inside

my heart

And yet, its what I hide

I only think of dreams

all the time

And it flows like rough streams

I only see what I see

inside myself

And see myself as me

I can only be

many to all

and all to many

I can only live

life as myself

To have faith and believe

I can only give my soul

to myself

and let it grow old

I only know how to be

myself

I can only be me

To thine ownself

be true,

be true to myself
