Chameleon
I am a chameleon with a colour-changing skin
It matches every mood that I am ever in.
When I’ve acted strangely, or said something stupid
I am so embarrassed, my face turns to red
And if I scream out loud, when I have had a fright
My body starts to tremble, and blanches to white.
When I am cold and shivering, it takes a different hue
My skin goes all goosey, it turns to blue
I am a chameleon with a colour-changing mind
It matches every mood that you could ever find.
When I am filled with envy of something that I have seen
My mind succumbs to jealousy, and changes to green
If I am flushed with anger, about something that’s been said
My temper starts to flame a bright and burning red.
Sometimes, I’m sad and lonely, when I’m missing you
I feel so dejected, I go a gloomy blue.
I am a chameleon with many colours to show
They reflect my every mood, as feelings come and go
Though all are not as bright as I would like them to be
They fill my life with thanks for their diversity.
I am a chameleon with many colours to show
And everywhere I go, I have a Rainbow glow
