Shopaholic

Flipping through fashion magazines your desire is compelled to increase

You are starving to feed your needs

Those needs that always scream at you…I want that dress and shoes too!

Scavenging for funds and determined to succeed

You will get exactly what you wish

As you walk to your favourite shop, adrenaline takes control

You find yourself running to the store

People are better not getting in your way

You are ready to elbow them away

The subtle light and perfumed scent welcome you into the outlet

Warm feelings envelope you as you approach the prohibited fruit

Slipping into the dream dress makes you feel like a Princess

As you wear the shiny shoes, the stinging pain gives you a clue

Your feet will want to get out of there soon

The throbbing of your feet won’t deter your aim

The objects of your desire you are there to claim

Walking down the busy street feeling happy and at ease

Ignoring the real needs that you are trying to fulfil 

Failing to recognise what your heart truly speaks

Soon happiness will fade away

And you will do the same all over again

‘Feed your addiction’ is what you read

On the bus that passes your street

You are still ready for more…what are you truly craving for?

[jacob erin-cilberto]

almost like Adam and Eve craving the fruit from the tree of knowledge....we get a thirst for it, and just can't quell the craving.

And it can be very addictive.
