Watch Me Disappear...

What if I just stop caring about what people think? What if I just stop caring about judgements and expectations that I never deserved and never wanted? What if I just changed myself and didn't listen to the noise of people who obviously don't know me?

It's scary, yet almost exciting. What if I just say what I really think? Tell people what I really do or don't believe in? Just tell them straight up what I am.

For so long I've been trying to make people happy and do what they want me to do... what if I just don't try anymore?

I think people will be disappointed, sure. They'll realize I wasn't who I they thought I was and they'll have to watch something they thought the knew disappear...

...And see me reappear for what I am.

The magician,

-

is never who she truly says she is.

-

She's an illusion,

-

a smile and a wave of hand makes thousands clap.

-

She does exactly what they want to see and says exactly what they want to hear.

-

She makes the audience happy, and finds her value in their applause.

-

But after so many times of doing the same act,

-

the audience is unamused,

-

and the magician is worthless.

-

So, she tries her last act.

-

She makes herself disappear...

-

When she reappears,

-

the audience screams.

-

It's better than the applause,

-

that died out so long ago.
