Chameleon by choice
Star when I can
Blend into the crowd
Stand out against it all
~
Head down, eyes half closed
Voice belting, people stopping
Body pulled in tight
Arms open for all to see
~
Oh Duality, Oh Duality
How I wish I could be one
But one voice speaks
And the other one thinks
~
In my hands I see the chances
Risk it all for a small possibility
Play it safe but breathe in mediocrity
One voice says stay
The other says jump
~
Heart thumping I lift my head up
Mind scrambling I open my mouth
Skin heating I shed off the chameleon skin
Stomach churning I speak
"Jump."
