I have a love-hate relationship
With the emails titled "Order
Confirmation" sitting in my inbox.
On one hand, I love the rush
Of adrenaline I get while unpacking
Those boxes, opening new things
That will fill the need to be like everyone
Else, brand new things showing my superiority.
On the other, I hate how after the shine
Wears off, I am left feeling
An emptiness in my chest and a guilt
Of spending money I could store
Away, leaving it to sit in my bank
Account and collecting dust
In the vault. Because maybe
If I had more money, it will prove
That I am nothing like the woman
Who raised me, that I can be better
Then an online order.
