Imagine This Image

This image
I hold in regard this image that I put on display
The facet of my being aside its integrity I hide
No way will I let the real me have its way
This fashioned fixture is of my creation
Imagine what comes from other's intake of my indefinite revelation
I shed my light on this illusion; behold the sight of this confusion
How deceptively clever is my staged diffusion
A doctored facade be my resolution
Though open to criticism or interpretation
This controlled representation is my dictation
Though possibilities of negative saturation
The propensity of inquiries delve my elation
Imagine an image I forged for review
Respected by many, conclusive by few.

Good use of word provocative of imagination, Arcene, like 'Illusion', 'Diffussion'.
