#retailtherapy
shop til you drop
quite literally
mentally and physically
marketing and advertising got you fantasising,
now you’re compromising yourself…
unfortunately, that new bag won’t replace your emotional baggage,
and you can’t cover up everything with that brand new jacket,
instead of opening up, you open up packets
feeling satisfied when you rip off the plastic
you stare at your purchase hoping to feel something,
yet you feel nothing…
that feeling must be crushing
the disappointment with each item is heavier,
you thought the more the merrier,
but nothing seems to be enough…
once you start it’s hard to stop,
cause when the happiness runs out, you’ll keep trying to fill it up…
you forgot the difference between want and need,
and now that retail therapy has turned into greed
