Miniature computers, larger dopamine receptors.
Harder to get content and joy.

You ask who I am.
Honestly, I wonder that too.
Sometimes I'm one thing, other times another.

Singing, Singing, Singing.
Your voice fills my ears.
Smiling, Smiling, Smiling,
Your happiness fills my heart.
Laughing, Laughing, Laughing,
Your friendship fills my mind.
