chameleon

she’s a chameleon

always pleasing someone

changing herself for them

new colors to become

 

she’s a good shapeshifter

born to be a drifter

they all think they know her,

always think she concurs

 

she changes so much

but it’s never enough

reinvents herself again

won’t be who she’s been

 

but she’s changed so many times

redrawn all her lines

she doesn’t know who she started as

doesn’t know who she really is

 

she thought she fixed herself

but she really broke herself

she thought she helped herself

but she really hurt herself

she thought she found herself

but she just lost herself
