Be your own friend

Learn to be your own friend;

It's best one you have really got.

Searching for a true friend in the outside world;

it is an extremely long shot.

This friend's talk will be gentle,

Being mindful of your needs.

Never will it be critical,

let your inner self lead.

Your inner self is always available,

So cultivate that inner bond.

This inner affection is infallible,

the friendship goes above and beyond.

When you are deeply hurting,

This inner friend will strengthen you.

For this friendship is not fleeting,

this one you should pursue.

When no one is available;

To shower love and care,

At least you have yourself,

so do not despair.
