By myself.

When I'm by myself and I close my eyes, I'm a twin. I'm a dimple in a chin.

I'm a room full of toys,.

I'm a squeaky noise. I'm a gospel song. I'm a gong.

I'm a leaf turning red.

I'm a loaf of brown bread. I'm whatever I want to be; I'm what I want to be.

And when I open my eyes,

What I care to be is me!
