I am neither dead… or alive.
I am many existences, but
I am pinned to one name.
I may have brown hair, or blonde.
I may love what you love, so that
I may please you.
I will be who you want me to be.
I will bend to your whim.
I will bend to hands far more powerful than my own.
For with you, I can encounter endless possibilities.
For with your merest whim, I come to life.
For without your hands I am lifeless.
What am I?
