The Other Face
An international writing prompt on 7Days Writing Quest.
The other face
The other personality, behind the real face
Sometimes in phases, or in spaces
You can trigger this other face.
Nobody knows this face
He’s only seen in the dark, alone.
He respects the real face,
else the cover is blown.

The real face might be outspoken
But the other face is not.
He doesn’t get to be seen or known
Else, he’s intimidated and driven nuts.
The real face smiles outside
The other face cries inside
They need my best to be their best
Not my worst to groom their worst
The other face could be the real person
Putting on masks and photo Filters,
The real face is the best probable future
The reality we hope to become
Or maybe the other face is just a mirage,
Trying to steal the shine off the real face
What if the both faces unite?
Will the personality be unstoppable?
As there’s nothing to hide.
But then, wouldn’t we all be predictable?
