A TRUE FRIEND

 A TRUE FRIEND

A true friend

is one who helps you

to accept your oneness,

loneness, aloneness,

helps you to explore

the ever-changing nooks

and crannies of your selfness,

 helps you to be comfortable

with the idiosyncrasies

of your individuality,

and helps you

to laugh at absurdities

and to learn to live without lies.
