LGBTQ+ Poem: Chameleon Mantra, by Cade Taylor

Keeping your eyes watching, forward and behind, always anticipating
Changing into something safe, palatable for the masses
Move with the breeze, don’t draw attention to yourself
Stay dull and invisible, unseen

Uncreative with your colors and hues, greens and browns, earn canopy safety
Guarantied protection from pain, no target to strike
Hide in shadows, the spotlight wasn’t made for you
Don’t spoil the view, unintrusive
