A Friend Still, But To Myself

A friend still, but to myself
Will I rather choose to be
Than I would for pretence
To others be, but not of 
me.
 
The heart of man so deep,
Is full of both bad and 
good.
Who can tell of everything
As at when he really 
should?
 
So, from insecurity of time,
I choose to be this content:
That with myself a friend 
still,
Should spend every 
moment.
