The Classic Chameleon

He was adept
At blending in,
Seeming to become
A part of
The background,
Making himself
All but invisible.
He dared not
Stand up for himself,
Voice any opinion
In opposition,
Or declare
The standards
By which he lived
For fear of blowing
His cover.
He was a Chameleon
Who willingly
Paid the price
Of conformance
Just to fit in.
