Emotional bulimia
Venting is a good kind of purge in my opinion!
Emotional bulimia belongs to the following groups:
All Out Emotion, Anger Management, Freedom In Words & Art, Melbourne & Victoria, The Art of Pain, Verses Dark, Vibration in Art and Verse - VAVoom! and Who are YOU to Judge?Have you ever realised
that everything you miss
is not all that special
or good to begin with?
Vomiting away my days,
it feels like bulimia.
You say you need your own way,
like drug-fuelled paranoia.
I take advantage of myself;
I’m wasting time and what is mine.
You know how to pick the best times
to hand deliver the worst lines.
And now that you’re begging,
words and lies you don’t mean,
I know this isn’t real;
you’re faking that you’re keen.
So I guess it’s fine I puke
all good sentiment away.
I guess it’s appropriate
you’ve entrapped your mind away.
I can do all that I’ve dreamed of;
my sharpened heel is on your throat.
It was my choice to play your game
And now I hope you fucking choke.

Oh wow Shoaib, I love The Used too. Meant to be seeing them at The Hi-Fi Bar in Melbourne on Nov 20 as a matter of fact, if I can get tickets Monday. Hadn’t noticed how many similarities this poem has to that song either – thanks for pointing it out :) They are awesome, I so agree!
Teacup
Love the opening lines… can so relate to that. Well vented there msdebbie. x

Thanks so much Jane :) I feel really honoured by the privilege.
Kristin Reynolds
ha! you tell ‘em, chica, rock his stupid-ass world with the heel of your sharpest boot – yee-aya!!! woohoo! cheers girl, love it! Kxo
msdebbie replied
Thanks KR :) I do like the thought of it being boots – I was thinking of a hot red pair when I wrote it, to match my rage LOL xoxo
Elizium
Wonderful writing Deb…very visceral…I love the idea of puking up ones’ emotions…and then hoping that the other chokes…as well as The Used song it also kinda reminds me of this Tool song…
Congratulations
Elizium x
msdebbie replied
Thanks so much Elizium! I love that suck me dry line in the Tool song – great imagery. Parasites like ticks and leeches are always a great metaphor for this type of unhealthy relationship or dynamic. I feel really privileged by this feature xoxo
AFogArty
Yep, you was angry, nice vent. xx
msdebbie replied
Thanks Adrian – from one venter to another – that is appreciated LOL xoxo

YES!!!
msdebbie replied 29 days ago
Can I presume from such an emphatic yes that you might be a venter too?! LOL xoox

Yes, I vent, too, in my ways, and have hoped many antagonists would fucking choke (well, figurativelly at least), but I can only envy your putting your sharpened heel to your enemies’ throats. Go for it.

Thanks Peter, I’m currently writing a bit of vent piece, if you’re up later it could be something you’ll like my friend xoxo

Wow very powerful! Everyone seems to hear music to this… my mind went straight to Doughnut Song… It’s very “Pele-esque”...

And if I’m wasting all your time
This time
Maybe you never learned to take
And if I’m hanging on to your shade
I guess I’m way beyond the pale
That is a great song! I am going to check out your work and start linking to Tori lyrics methinks xoxo

It’s one of my faves(LOL not that that narrows it down much!)... She played it Canberra & Adelaide… I’m doing one more show- Brissie- & am really hoping we get her!!!
I think my favourite lines in that song would have to be…
you told me last night
you were a sun now
with your very own devoted satellite
happy for you
and I am sure that I hate you
two sons too many too many able fires
Xxx
