#purge
Shower, water hides my pain I feel my power slipping down the drain Cut myself to feel an ounce of control Hide my tears, pretend I’m whole Try eating but the guilt begins to start Beats too fast, my racing heart Lock the bathroom door and purge my fear One more secret, I’ll make disappear I feel my pain when I see it rain Nothing left for me to gain I go and try to set a goal Man this is really taking a toll I break myself apart Part by part My future is so unclear See you next year?

Down The Drain
A certain curtain Pulled back By the hand of fate, A scene, not seen, For a long, long time. A memory thought buried, Suddenly unearthed. This could change everything, a more confident person will emerge, subconscious has it's ways, of creating a purge.

Total Recall
In the land of milk and honey, within the rocks, the water flows. The love of life is dangling, from a chain of forever wars… Each a part they look away, unconcerned and unafraid. Unaware the masses move, while their bombs drop on you. Obscure , the hand we’ve been dealt, turn the device off, toss it on the shelf! Never mind what you heard, this world must be purged. Purged of them over there, Lydia, Syria how could nobody cared? The Nuremberg trials and **** Germany, we surely do forget. Yet the identical road is beneath our feet, in each and every step!

bulimic ballad
I have a strong urge to purge fallacy of my own and others of my kindred soul and my brothers the shackles you see are barely there But those inside your mind rattle your soul Using truth as sword Justice as shield Martyrdom awaits In the holy battlefield.

Purge
While you might look at the months ahead and see feasts, and shared tables, and celebratory treats, and memories made in the kitchen. I see hours needed on the treadmill, and calories needing to be logged, and pounds gained, and hours crying on the bathroom floor. I no longer see the holidays as a joyous time full of laughs but rather as a 3 month long depressive purge.

Purge
We'd be on the list, he said In days past, that list for VIP-s only was for a screening, a fashion show A red carpet, a gallery soiree But days before the Election he was quietly referring to a purge list A VIP of a different sort We'd be on the list, he said, if there was a coup, for being artistic dissidents The sun sets in Hollywood and I'm in the VIP Room which is my living room praying, hoping for peace

On The List
The teardrops on these windows of my soul, blur the view of the pristine tomorrow. My lungs choked with anxiety, as the lasses tread gaily across fields and soak the sun. These tears block the sunrays, binding me to the darkness as I smash those windows. The tears laugh as it tries to pin me down in the gutters of despair, as I beseech the sun to dry these drops away.

*****
Everyone has their addictions. I’m addicted to you. I’m addicted to the way you make me feel in control while you wrap me around your finger. I’m addicted to the emptiness.  Drowning myself in banana coloured pills as I stuff my fingers down my throat. I wash my emotions flush down, swirling away as my body cries for mercy. For me stop abusing it for a vision of perfection that I will never reach alone. I can’t stop, losing control is like a death sentence. You’re killing me but I love you all the same. Sometimes I wish I could be free. To go back to a time when there were more than numbers on my plate. Before the calculator in my head began to count. A time when I was happy. The only way to be free is to let go of you. But letting go feels like dying even though I’m dying anyway. I can’t get enough of you. This pain is all I know. I am nothing without you. I sometimes want to live but I can’t bear the feelings of being alone. I love you.

Addicted
The drops of the past Wells up in my eyes, As my mind purges my soul of the heart stung with Poison. Poison That stains souls. Which remain tainted, In the bright cosmic world, among the naive souls In line to be slain.

Purge of the mind
As I tread through the murky waters, The apparition whispered the joy of pain as we treaded further, into the tunnel. With just a quarter left, to the end, the apparition left me, all alone and murky, constricted in my own mind. The tunnel, with time, taught me the joy, within me, hidden as I whisked to the end. To be soaked in the Love, in the Universe.

END OF TUNNEL
Buckthorn, as a med we ate to ease a belly ache, cascara sacrada, relaxative peristalsis pro-vocatuer, speaker to the gut beyond first taste, you spew buckthorn berry purge, my gut for goodnessake swallow whole, don't ever ruminate and appear not to know in sacred cow stupid-blissity, duhll, un honed to an honest cutting edge, behind a persistent point piercing, insisting on forming, con forming me, the ego in main-mode, re maining reasonable in face of facts, leaked: liars prosper. Good enough. Now, betting begins. Will, mine or thine, one is free, the other is me, a mind in a word world with vectoring paths into any ever we image, conversation, forms of words filled with saliency, line after line, salutory aspirations to rise above the fray, someday, to see, -- the lie exposed is the truth. So simple a five year old knows when she's caught.

A finger in a jar, Spooning out peanut butter, In a cold empty house. A pack of crisps. A crunchy bar. A sandwich. Some fizzy. Slowly, Pushing the handle, Tap, Tap, Tapping, Gush. I push it all back out.

These feelings fall like tidal waves. They're a beauty, so why do I suffocate? Overwhelm me, I just can't escape, It's dark, so here, I send up a flare. It's hard, to keep my flair. Buried within the world's glares. I'm making me work, A body, no head. Pushing. Might I have failed? To accept I'm way too scared. Letting my world down, myself. After all I've done, all I've said. Sometimes I wish I wasn't sad. My dreams, I know they aren't dead, In folds, they hid instead. Don't know why this mount I can't climb. God knows, for long I've tried. Blown my integrity, I have no more pride. I wish I could take this in my stride. Down the barrel of this gun, I stare. Not knowing where from here I fare. No options, no allies. I don't want this to be just a souvenir. I'm tired, I'm drained. These tidal waves, Where do you take me? Where?

No matter what's wrong and what's right The pouring heavenly light Will continue to rain She shows not a drop of refrain We know you live for the thrill So go on and drink your fill Enter the field of doom As it enters full bloom

Purge
Had me a purgatory day, yesterday, spewed my guts under the torturers inquirical miracle twisted all to hell, seeking truth that fits the story the fire maker said I knew. Had me a purgatory day, yesterday, spilled my gut on youtube comments no mind in a state of right useness is ever going to believe, believing being so difficult, these days. Those days Had me a purgatory day, yesterday.

THE LOVER
If E=MC squared and I am 9 stone why cant I get up in the morning? If all things are "relative" why haven't I heard from any of you? If nothing moves faster than light how does that cold drop of water beat me when I go to the bathroom in the mornings?

You're worthless. You can't even go a day without eating. Even when you do you stuff your face just to puke it back up. Why don't you just end it now? You're ugly and no-one will ever want you. Much less want to be with you. You think that we made you tired? That we are what's making you sad? No. You did this to yourself, you worthless, ugly piece of **** Why can't you be strong like the other girls? Why don't you just quit eating and have discipline like they do? We know it's because you're scared. You ******* coward. Even we aren't the worst things that you deal with. What about your little "habit?" Be it drugs, self harm, purging, or alcohol. Just take your pick. You deserve every little thing that's happened to you. You'll never be enough. You aren't worth it. You never were. Sincerely, Ana & Mia

I remember the feeling. Like I was getting rid Of every foul thing inside me. I would feel so- Empty. But at the time It was better than feeling everything. And sometimes I would just lay there And I would cry. I was so ashamed Of my bathroom coping mechanisms. Brush my teeth So the acid wouldn't make them yellow. Appearances seemed to be important. Had to be thin, Had to be empty. I didn't realize then That I was wasting away That there was another way To purge my feelings. But I know now. I know now. You saved me.
