Like a Chameleon
if you judge me by my physical LOOK
you would say I'm full PRETENCE
but if I gave you a chance to read my Journal BOOK
you'd realize am just full of PRUDENCE.
Don't mind me,
I live my life like a FAIRYTALE
an excuse of a story to TELL
Yes, I prefer to live like a CHAMELEON
hated and despised by MANY
knowing that life won't stop, it always will MOVE ON
as I keep loving my PERSONALITY
Sorry, I do not mean to be RUDE
but that's just who I AM
some say am full of boasting and PRIDE
well, what can I do, when I just try to be better than I AM
Some condemn the way I WALK
and most laugh that I am too SLOW
but I do not mind their laughter and TALK
cause I have my own laws to FOLLOW
to speak honestly and FRANKLY
am mostly found ALONE
cause most of the friends I have are not FRIENDLY
they are always weighing me DOWN
Get away from me if you're a PRETENDER
I want to be ALONE
don't force me to change my COLOUR
Just like a CHAMELEON
