Myself
By Mae M. McAllister
I thought myself clever and good and kind –
Many had said this of me;
I thought I was doing the best I could
To make this world better, a fine place to be.
I patted myself on the back and said,
“You’re doing your share, Old Pal —
But I sat myself down, my head in my hands,
And had a good long cry,
After standing aside for a measured spell
And watching myself go by.
(1954)
