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.

This is a two-toned poem that I wrote about how important my friends are to me, that when I am with them I feel better.
