CHAMELEON

Chameleon
Your colors
Camouflage
Offer Protection
Make you
Relatable
To your environment
Always changing
Always Morphing
What is your true color
Chameleon?
Have you ever been
Your true color
For any
Length of time?
Adaptable
Stealthy
Your colors
Continue to change
For every situation
You’re in…
I wonder
Chameleon
What is your
Favorite color?
Do you ever stay in it
For very long?
Are some colors
Easier to slide into?
Ever get tired
Chameleon
In not staying
In your authentic color?
Or do you even realize
That your colors change?
Never really knowing
Your true color
Authenticity
Lacking
But you are beautiful
Chameleon
It’s dreamy how
You so easily
Change
Adapt
And master each
Encounter
With the color
Of your surroundings
Thank you
For the show
And the bit
Of time
Your color
Matched my own
We blended
For a minute
But I blinked
You were gone
A different color
Against the
Background
Of your chosen
Path
Gone
I don’t see you anymore
Against the Camouflage
Of the color
You now call…

I will be sharing my poetry, random thoughts, my hopes, my dreams, defining my strength and my faith. I'm honest, raw and real. I'm writing more for me, but perhaps someone will find my words that will help you in a profound way View all posts by JJ Taylor
