A funny thought occured to me

what if I’d never been?

and no one seemed to know me

and no one was my friend.

Could I make it without family?

I’m not as needy as I sound,

but I sure can’t imagine it

having no one else around.

I hope I never find out

what it’s like living emptily,

no one to share my thoughts with

or to speak with cordially.

I’d know not of my dislikes

not sharing favorites with anyone,

a perpetual view of bordom

could never teach me what was fun.

So I don’t think I’d much like

living completely all alone,

‘cause that lack of human contact

equals life in the Twilight Zone.

I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back

In a cold world...

a blanket is a friend.
