I Am... Chameleon
Born and raised as a brain
Until the bullies brought the pain
Through this the Social chameleon was born
To prevent his constant forlorn
Or worse, the others scorn
To make it out alive
We put on the hollow mask and sigh
Our true selves hide inside
Looking through your own shallow eyes
We do this merely to survive the day
Play along, agree with what they say
What else do we know? This must be the only way
Hide and quiver true self, acceptance is a vision long gone
Until you escape this place at the final song
Brains and morality thrown out the door
To morph into this creature, of sin, athletics, and no more
Comply to societies cry, or be wholly eaten alive
What girl wants a nerd? What guy wants a freak?
This is the issue, that presents the few and the meek
So fear not fellow outcasts and introverts
I have lived both sides of the coin
And hear me out, be yourself, and life you shall enjoy
Stay strong, keep on
I am here, you are not alone
Through this pain, we all have known
Stick by your side, take off that mask
There are others who have completed this task
So shed your skin social chameleons, and fly free
Do this, and in life you will find, forever glee.
