I'm a Chameleon

by visionary1234

Are you happy?
then I will allow myself to be happy too, for
I’m a chameleon

are you sad? worried?
me too, me too!

why?

I don’t know - I never think or feel
for myself,
I just absorb your colors
because ... I’m afraid not to …

I’m a chameleon
living within the cellophane boundaries
of your dark and light

no colors of my own
until I die …

or you do

but then what?

fear
bright blood-red
and ragged

but at least it's a color
that will truly belong

only
to
me
