Analysis of The Illusionist
I'm a very clever being,
A master of disguise.
This collected person,
Strong and contained.
I am a trickster,
A master illusionist,
A fake, faux, phoney,
False, bogus, baloney.
Every smile implores
Each soul searching look beseeching,
Please see me,
The real me
That me that bleeds Red.
