Comment from Janice Canerdy
Wow! This thought-provoking, heart-wrenching poem describes the mindset of one who, for some unstated reason(s), is so controlled by another that he/she has failed to develop a sense of self.

Comment from GarthL
Yes it is a sad poem that someone might feel so attached externally that their whole state of mind and demeanour is colored by it rather than from their personal essence within.
A very good descriptive write about the empathy in extreme of taking on board the ambiance of others. Well done, good luck in the contest. I loved the image you chose to represent your poem. Staystronglivelong, Garth

Comment from Nanette Mary
Hullo Author ....
In this free-thought writing, you have very cleverly used a Chameleon and its ever changing colours and appearance, to compare with a human being whose life is like a reflection of that of someone else. These are strange little creatures and, in Africa, very often children keep them as pets.
Thank you for sharing this with us and, as it is a Contest entry, I wish you well.
Love from ... Nanette Mary.

Comment from Starlit Ink
This poem tells of the sadness of blending in, instead of being an individual. Sometimes we conform to what people want and expect, instead of blossoming to our potential. I think that almost everyone has felt the feeling that you describe. Good luck.

Hello author I agree this is one of the Pathos saddest poems I have read,

Very good

This is an interesting piece that meets the criteria of the contest. I think your piece is accurate in describing a person seeped in sadness. Many times they are perfect chameleons, never allowing others to truly see. Great work and good luck.
