WHO AM I? by Samuel Obono Jnr

The chameleon
who plays colour tricks
knows why
The snake
who sheds its skin
knows why
The tortoise
who hides in its shell
knows why
But who am i to tell?
I am guilty of the same crime

I am the masquerade
who drives the crowd affright
but hides under a blanket at night
I am the lizard
who never keeps his head up

The world remains a dreadful place
still i must live in it
Mutating for relevance
my innate self,peeling away
till i know not who i am
and soon
I'll be like a fish
out of water.
