I wish I could blend in.

change my colors to match my surroundings.

Maybe I will fit in, if I blend in.

Maybe I will have more.

Maybe they'll like me more.

If only my colors matched my surroundings.

My skin would be as dull as a used pencil.

But I could be as bright as neon store lights.

I could be any color,

                           Red,

                               Blue,

                                   Yellow.

I could sparkle,

                   shimmer,

                          glitter,

                               and shine.

I could match my personality and be bright.

Or I could be as plain as khaki.

Only if I blend in.

I fit in.

I can have more if I match my surroundings.

I can be more if I don't.

If I could be myself,

I would have many colors.
