Behind the Curtain
Location
As I look in the mirror, my gaze lowers as I slowly look away
"That’s neither who I am nor the person I want to be."
Who I am on the dull surface doesn’t compare to the rainbow girl within.
Yes, I seem happy but that smile delicately painted on my face
Is simply smoke and mirrors.
The truth is, I’m afraid of the audience’s opinions
But I can’t let it be known or it intervenes with my act:
A magician never reveals their secrets.
