Do we need everything we buy? Why do we shop so vigorously? One person reflects on the holes they try to fill with shopping.

i have deep holes

i try to fill

with empty purchases

and lost experiences

 

holes i so desperately

want to understand

where they come from?

and what they tell of who I am?

 

the holes are deep and mine

and i can tell i'm lost

 

i want to be found

and realize

something deep within me

i want to be there

and know

and feel fulfilled

not empty.

 

i want more

and more

and I want to hold myself

with moving arms

and feel OK.
