We need others to see us because
we became so lonely that we cannot see ourselves.
We show some skin, sell some body,
gain some muscles, cover all flaws
in hopes that our lie will catch someone’s eye
and that someone will love us since we
don’t know how to love ourselves in this day and age.

So true and so sad how desperately hollow we have become.
I believe that we will do better and that in the end the humanity in humans will be stronger than the toxic side effects of everything we have created.
Lovely!
Well written…..but it’s difficult to generalize as true people do exist, who don’t appear differently….inner & outer “attire” ….strength & vulnerability.
I love this is soo beautifully written
Thank you!
