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
