By Myself

        By Keyton

When I’m by myself and I close my eyes

I’m a needle and thread

I’m a cookie dipped in milk

I’m a genius, smart as can be

I’m a leaf turning red

I’m a shadow in the distance

I’m a statue standing still

I’m a model  

I’m a peaceful painting

I’m the water in the sea

I’m an Albert Einstein Jr.

I’m an anything I care to be

And when I open my eyes

What I care to be

Is Me.
