Only to Produce Classics

I can not help it,
If I am able...
Only to produce classics.

'OH!
Aren't you the modest one?
With an ego that shuns you away.
From anyone who has liked what you've done.'

You think so?

'Yeah!
People perceive you to be this egotistical manic.'

I didn't realize that.
I only write to achieve my very best.
Maybe you are right.
I could have said that with a bit more humility!
How does this sound:
'I can not help it,
If I am able...
Only to produce classics.
With better ones to come! '

'Well...
I guess one of us is learning something! '

Is this a full confession?
