An interesting look at an abused personality in survival mode. It's a stressful way to live. Yes, it's definitely depressing. Well done, Sharyn. :) nancy

beautiful, Sharyn and very true. It is something that I have been guilty of in the past and have to watch my actions in the present. "I just absorb your colors because ... I'm afraid not to" I believe that to be true and it all to be fear based.

Comment from Ekim777
Your poem is a strange confession. I reckon you are more aware of a sense of drama in our lives than simple sadness. A chameleon can indeed change its colors and you feel you can do the same. That might be called empathy. So why does it disturb you? Because you still wonder who is the real you? I had a parrot for many years and always wondered what was its true voice. I was search for my true (literary) voice. One thing your poem reveals about yourself. You are very open to life's incoming impressions. You absorb all, almost indiscriminately. -Ekim777

Comment from Silverlock
Can you believe it - they're playing old hits on the TV and Karma Chameleon (Boy George) was just on!!
And now My Sharona is playing!! Very spooky, Sharyn :))
Love the poem, clever use of colours to link emotion with the ever adaptable chameleon. Particularly like the cellophane boundaries - excellent imagery.
Great contest entry!
Regards, Barb

Comment from nomi338
So sad the person who is unable to be themselves. It is totally normal to admire traits in someone else that we ourselves lack. However, we should never want to be someone else, completely rejecting what could be an object of envy by someone else. Your poem opens up a discussion that really has no easy answers, but is worthy of investigation.
