Measure me not by what I appear but what I am measure me not by what I want but what I reject measure me not by words I say but my unknown deeds measure me not when I am in public but in my privacy measure me not by my success but my failure measure me not by what I know but what I am ignorant of measure me not by what others say but from our personal encounters measure me not out of sympathy but with impartiality measure me not with the yardstick of bravery but my vulnerability measure me not as among the selected company but among the poor and needy measure me not when the world is for me but when all things are against me measure me not by the approval of authority but my desire to be free measure me not when I am in the pink of spring or summer but when I am stricken by the harshness of winter measure me in my very frailty that alone would make me happy.

MEASURE ME
Measure me not by what I appear but what I am measure me not by what I want but what I reject measure me not by words I say but my unknown deeds measure me not when I am in public but in my privacy measure me not by my success but my failure measure me not by what I know but what I am ignorant of measure me not by what others say but from our personal encounters measure me not out of sympathy but with impartiality measure me not with the yardstick of bravery but my vulnerability measure me not as among the selected company but among the poor and needy measure me not when the world is for me but when all things are against me measure me not by the approval of authority but my desire to be free measure me not when I am in the pink of spring or summer but when I am stricken by the harshness of winter measure me in my very frailty that alone would make me happy.
