Analysis of AIM MAIM I



I am who I am
How am I who I am?
Who am I!!?
Am I who?
To you am I who I reveal?
Friends know any me
I know enemy
I can be my own bestfriend
I can never own bestfriend
I can see no reason known to best friend
I be friend to those good to befriend
I will not tell friend lies
Just to be amongst false friendlies
To face they appear friendliest
They are needed as a friend least
Within the row a fiend lines
As friend of forced friendliness  
That should always remain unfriended
Or find your mind fried and peace a fiend ended
