Shapeshifting
In the manipulated incentive of compulsive being
The transmuting concept of uniqueness called color
Changes in the self-devised palette of color mélange
While conjured chameleon shapes the human entity.
In the ostensible performance of life’s amazing drama
Enactments perfected with the obsession of passion
Aureate the sequel created by metamorphic alchemy
The shift from one actor to another is a designed motive.
Out of spotlight the colors melt on the visage of the self
The unmade-up face turns into truthful mirror of actuality
Reflecting the real definition of shape with pristine hues
Of unaltered identity of innocence it embodied once.
When spasm of contrived discernment breaks the mirror
The shards of shattered facade splatter as discarded debris
Shapeshifting creates deluding creature creeping as chameleon
And completes the compulsive act of shape metamorphosis.
