Black holes -
There's one in every galaxy.
Each unique conglomeration
Of colorful gases
That come together to form
You and me.
There's one inside all of us.
It's dark.
And it's cold.
And it takes away everything else.

White holes -
I have come out the other side
And it is warm
And it is bright
And unlike anything I ever imagined.

When you come out into the white, your atoms have been rearranged.
You are different than when you went into the black.
You are someone new.
A new galaxy.
Live like people have never seen you before,
Because they haven't.
