I am a metaphor

Don't think about me for too long

I may confuse you

Because I am not me you see

This is not about you but about me

Yes I am a metaphor

An everlasting contradiction

Pretending to be something I'm not

Always living in another state of me

So certain of this fact

I believe in every present

Yes I am a metaphor

I am never truly me

Not you yet something I want to be

In a cloak of invisibility

No one ever sees the real me

I chameleon forever changing

Yes I am a metaphor

I need to change my colours

But my environment changes to fast

I am exposed A red blinking light

Hear laughter ringing in my ears

Yet I see nothing

Because I am not the only metaphor

There are chameleons everywhere

They hide in the colours that never change

Hidden In a state of darkness

So that no one will find

I was the only one hiding in light

A metaphor trying to hide





in plain sight
