The Life of a Chameleon

Sun, 07/28/2013 - 23:55 -- amylb12

I used to be a chameleon.

A million shades of green.

Trying to please everyone else.

I was used

To blending in, to trying to fit myself

To everyone's liking.

And then the day

Came when I wanted to break free

And proclaim, reclaim my originality.

I wanted to become blue or pinnk

Or yellow or purple

Because I was tired

Of a c h a m e l e o n ' s lifestyle.

So I be-

Came a lion.
