CHAMELEON
Do not change the subject
When I ask you how you are
Do not smile when you are sad
When your chest is torn and full of tinfoil
Do not tell me to go away
When the air you breathe is heavy
And the gravitational force of loneliness
Makes all you do go slowly
Do not turn off your phone
When a way out is all you need
And the voices of your fears
Join the screaming of your demons
I am here, honestly
Do not run away
Nor pretend anymore
I am here, honestly
Waiting for you to tell me
How you really are
