If we pretend we are OK


If we pretend we are OK
Don't share vulnerabilities
Humans will only relate to what they see, 
your mask. 
The real inner you, 
who is nurtured by relationships, 
is  starved. 
No-one is relating to the real you.  
"Perfectionism 
is the voice of the oppressor, 
the enemy of the people.
