Heart Shaped Consumer Whore

so what is it about valentines day that provokes bile to rise up to my throat and expel itself from my mouth.... ? is it the pink and red flimsy paper hearts that populate every nook and corner my eyes can find to rest themselves on ? A morbid reminder of the colorful paper-thin superficiality everyone possesses or am i just being unnecessarily cynical ? Valentines day never seems to run out of heart-shaped-ness , ironic how people always run out of heart. Heart shaped chocolate, heart shaped candy, heartshaped decorations, heart shaped balloons, heartshaped cookies, heart shaped cakes, heart shaped bracelets, heart shaped pendants, matching heart shaped tattooes, heart shaped tops, heart shaped envelopes, heart shaped picture frames, heart shaped cushions and my personal favourite - heart shaped lingerie. Your hearts not special anymore, thats why they took its shape and littered the world with it, displayed it and sold it till u were forced to acknowledge the vulgarity that has now become a part of every heart shaped product consumer pimps are selling to us. Im surprised they havnt figured out a way to grow heart shaped roses yet. Still its amazing how this heart shaped hallmark holiday produces a heart shaped bubble for little heart shaped people to co-exist in and excludes all those who arent heart shaped. Knowing this, a little heart shaped girl inside me thinks in her little heart shaped head and says to herself in a little heart shaped voice, i wish my name was on one of those little heart shaped thingies.
