Big Small World
I like my own company;
some of the time.
Sometimes I live in a world
with a population of one.
A part-time loner
who never gets lonely.
I can do what I want;
whenever I want.
But don't feel bad, my friend.
You are always welcome here.
I can open up my world to you;
or step right back into yours.
No time for a Brave New World.
We all need to share this one.
My world is your world.
Is your world mine?
