Shopkeeper

I want to bottle this feeling up
And sell it to myself in the morning
Grossly overpriced with no family discount.
For the status symbol it implies.

I want to be selfish enough to buy it.
With the delusion that if it works
Everything will be better.
Buying it will make all the doubt,
Self-loathing, disgust and mistrust disappear......

I want to bottle this feeling up
And sell it to myself in the morning....
When I'm too stingy to cough up the cash.
