Magic Trick

Reframe the vision they see of your life
make it seem real easy put on a show;
They tend to wield your past just like a knife; 
Selfies and status updates you outgrow 
reset the loop just let them think they know;
Create an illusion laced with control; 
Put those vacant views into a black hole,
walk away turn your back on what’s toxic; 
What is visible is never the whole;
Just stack that deck become a magic trick.
