Analysis of I am my own best friend.



I am my own best friend.

I sought my friends.
I sought my constant companion.
I sought my well wishers.

Now my friends are settled somewhere.
We are living in different world.
We are leading different lives.

My mother was my constant companion.
I shared everything with my mother
but now she is no more.

My few well wishers are not with me.
Either they left me
or left this world.

Now when I am alone.
I find myself as my constant friend
and the best wisher too.
