When I am by myself I am pillow white:
Exhausted by my own thoughts, all I want to do is sleep;
silent and still, I don’t do much just sitting here;
I am soft and gentle, simple and clean.
When I am with the people I love I am a bolt of lightning:
Instantly energized when I meet up with a friend,
I no longer want to wrap myself in bed, but to stay up,
using all of my newfound energy.
Both are so different from each other, yet both are me.
