The Other Cheek

I’ve always turned
the other cheek
away from view
away from sight
well, tonight
I thought to myself
“I should hold my head up high
rather than try to hide this part of me”
It bears the hallmarks of girls who should not be
We are maybe not one in a million, but at least
one in a hundred thousand
or some such figure
(it may be bigger)
I should be proud
I should accept

except...
