Faces

You saw that face, just the face I chose to show.

You never saw those other parts of me, for it was not the time for me to show you, or tell you. There were times to shield, those private parts of me - so you only ever saw my other face; that strong unsentimental side who cared not for what the world would throw at her, and I kept my other face inside.

And when you finally did, you queried if it was really me, and accused me of being a different person.

It was always me all along, but you just never saw.
