As a recovering shopaholic to fill my voids, I relate.

…y early life
A man with his pants
on fire to have it all
What was next, always better
than what was
More, more, and even more,
but nothing ever filled the rip in my soul
Every promise to find the answer
just left me cold… and broke
and shaking in the dark
Who am I
What do I want
Why is enough never enough for me
I Don’t Need to Be Perfect

As a recovering shopaholic to fill my voids, I relate. SO grateful that somehow I caught on. Lovely poem. So gently beautiful but piercingly wise
