All American Chameleon

Have you ever wondered what its like to be a winner?

To keep your cool when things are bad?

Have you ever wanted to eat someone else's dinner?

To live their life, away from yours so sick and sad.



Too many times i want this,

and too many times i fail

Too many times i realize what it takes to ride a tail.



So why do i spend my time trying to be what i'm not?

Is it because of my insecurities, what will happen when i'm

caught?



i don't have time to think about these things

after all, i'm the All American Chameleon

taking things from you and him, i'll put them in

my own life to try and life with them.



Suddenly in my own eyes, i see a copy of me

trying to be like everyone else, but just slightly out of reach

I take off my molding goggles to see the world as it is,

Six Billion People all trying to fit in.

The last line is pretty powerful.

I think more could be done in the middle, but I don't have any suggestions so I'm not much help!
