Untitled Poem

 You promised me tomorrow

Then left before the sun set

Refused my name

I took the blame

Shed your skin

Changed your colors

A chameleon trying to fit in

Afraid to be alone

Because then you’d have to 

Look in the mirror 

Stare down your own demons

Instead of hiding behind the cover

The layers of your life

That you pile one on top of the other

Until who you really are

Is buried too deep
