In Need of Company

Don't worry about me. 

I don't need company. 

I’ve a world filled with dreams and images, 

friends and good books. 

It may seem that I'm alone  

within this private zone, 

yet I have all things my heart desires 

to fill my days. 

But if you wish to help, 

then make my wish be felt.

Find someone without dreams or friends or hope -

fix that for them. 

What a grand miracle.

Three lives now bearable,

such a large count at the end of all things.

We’ll change the world.
