Self-Esteem
Hans Schmitt
I do not know what's wrong with me,
I am not ill, yet I am not well;
I've been injured, yet I have no wound,
I do not know what's wrong with me!
I love to eat, but can taste nothing;
I have some money but it does me no good;
I do not know what's wrong with me!
I don't even have any snuff,
And have not even a farthing in my pocket,
I do not know what's wrong with me!
I would gladly get married,
But I can't stand to hear children screaming.
I do not know what's wrong with me!
Just today I asked the doctor,
Who told me to my face:
"I know well what's wrong with you:
A fool you certainly are!"
Now I know what's wrong with me!"
