2 Faces

She has 2 faces, a cruel one and nice one
Her traits change after her spinner is spun
To some, her sugar-coated smile would come
But the sneer is created for the others
Yet none can see what she has actually become.
One group are her family and the other, outsiders
To the outsiders, her friends and strangers
She is a flower, showing her bright side
Revealing all the flowers and rainbows
But deeply concealing her downside.
But at some point in time, they must all go out
Be revealed and spill out to the world from a waterspout
They will all crash down on her breaking her fences
Will she stand untouched or will she fall to the pit?
Will she realize actions come with consequences?
