Hey you under over my skin,
will you crawl and grow within?
Chill out - have a drink
don't kill your rocking host;
you won't live long if I'm a ghost.

Have you ever been afraid
to look at yourself in the mirror?
I have, for many reasons, many.
Some you don't want to know.
I put my contacts on in the dark.

You arrived a little bit late
"Champagne Chameleon"
from the rays of the sun;
downloading death from a star.
I'm not scared of you now, I'm old.

So please, think about this.
Just think it over for awhile.
Chill out - have a drink
don't kill your rocking host;
you won't live long if I'm a ghost.

smc - ignore alien orders

I like the humour.

Skin cancer is not a funny subject but you have encapsulated the way it should be mentally handled.

With a bit of training it could clean the house, walk the dog and cook dinner.

Such a bittersweet write.
I wish you well...keep thinking positively.
Hugs~

In the midst of winter..
I found there lives within me,
an invincible summer.

wintertao,
What a clever invitation you've given that beast. If I were it, there's no way I'd take you on! You're too clever.

I have had a couple of dances myself with this one so I enjoyed your perspective a great deal. Thank you for the positive of it.
