Online shopping

and the cycle it feeds

So I bought a gun

I don’t know why

It was my day off and I had the money

I was inside even though the sky was lazy clouds

A perfect day to let myself out and let go of it all

Shut inside shopping online looking for something to scratch that itch

Useless shit

Shirts that don’t fit,

Pants that are ripped

Jewelry that i'll never wear

Things I hope will repair that hole inside

But now I have something make that hole reality

All thanks to ease of access and the internet

A young dumbass adhering to a dangerous amendment

But I still need shop till I drop

Or decide to pull the trigger

Waiting on it to ship I slowly forget and move on to buying other useless shit

-J.Doune

About the Creator

J.Doune

I write to rationalize my feelings and I'm a man who feels a lot. Sad, scarred, depressed, angry, I feel ugly because how hard they hit I feel beaten and bloody. It feels like going ten rounds with myself and my laptop every time I write.
