Jassiel Avila Poet Ode

Ode to Chameleon

Ode to Chameleon 

You are many people in one 
That disguises himself but still is himself 
You hide beneath the tree because you know danger
Yet you are danger to others
Many skins in one but you portray only one
Green and naive but out comes red when you need to hunt 
Out come blue when you need to chase
Out comes yellow or orange or brown when you go to hide
Why hide chameleon 
You have to power to be someone else 
Someone loud
Someone that shows their true colors
Someone that has a name for himself 
You get to be someone 
But there you are 
Frightened by what's to come
Shaking from what's out there
Afraid you might lose it all, so you change 
You change to better yourself 
A new appearance, Same person
Same thinking, Same hunting
Same hiding, Same pain
But there you are 
Many people in one 
But still is himself
