dedicated to the people who got treated like props

"Do you believe in magic?" A question I often ask people. Well, magic doesn't differ too much from the concept of love. You as the rabbit and the other as the magician.

Everything is jaw-dropping until you learn that it's all an illusion. An act to entertain. But behind that act are the characters. Characters that are masked with the roles they're playing. People, ordinary people. We have feelings too.

You, the rabbit, gets involved suddenly. You, a clueless and innocent creature, unknowing of the world around you until he gets you out of the hat, your safe place. You, exposed to everything.

You and the magician had a connection. You were partners in crime. The perfect duo. Until you learned. You learned the you were only a prop in the play. He was just using you to be the center of attention.

But then comes the act of disappearance. Once he's done with you, he just makes you disappear. Like everything was just nothing to him.
