   And indeed there will be time 
   To wonder, "Do I dare?" and, "Do I dare?" 
   Time to turn back and descend the stair, 
   With a bald spot in the middle of my hair— 
   [They will say: "How his hair is growing thin!"] 
   My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin, 
   My necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin—
   [They will say: "But how his arms and legs are thin!"] 
   Do I dare 
   Disturb the universe? 
   In a minute there is time 
   For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse. 

   For I have known them all already, known them all— 
   Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons, 
   I have measured out my life with coffee spoons; 
   I know the voices dying with a dying fall 
   Beneath the music from a farther room.      
   ----- So how should I presume? 
From *The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T S Eliot

I identify strongly with the character.
