You can tell a lot about a person from the way they leave.
 May 2015 Lottie Charman
Shysta
There will be days :
You'll feel your voice fading away,
Dwindling amidst the mishaps and hardships,
Without even having the will power to convey what you really feel.
You'll feel as if you are consigned to oblivion.
That it'll be inevitable for the people who once valued you so much,
Consider you only as a dreadful memory.
You'll feel as if there are thousand things inside you,
Blaring to be heard,
To let loose amidst the falls,
But it won't. It'll be trapped once again. Unheard.
You'll feel your eyes losing its sparkle and cheer that you once had,
And that your tears will define you than words.
There will be days when you'll fall apart a billion trillion times,
Somehow, hoping that you'll be okay.
But soon you'll realize that your despairing and worthless life will trap you in the pound of shitstorms and tragedies  
That it'll become utterly impossible for you to begin again.
“Yes, I understand why things had to happen this way. I understand his reason for causing me pain. But mere understanding does not chase away the hurt. It does not call upon the sun when dark clouds have loomed over me. Let the rain come then if it must come! And let it wash away the dust that hurt my eyes!”
Hiding behind text messages
we believe immunizes the heart
is a forced loneliness
a perpetual confinement
in a dark room, with low music
which only breeds madness

In such famine, the body desires touch
the soul craves fellowship
the mind requires intellectualism
laughs between true friends
and shared tears
of kindred spirits

Once we can no longer bear starvation
comes the gluttonous feast
As wretched hogs at a trough
any form of attention is consumed
to fill the growing chasm of
worthlessness

Blinded by false admiration on backlit screens
the body, the soul, and the mind savors
cheap flattery of dark temptations
Vulgarity drools thick as blood from blackened lips
The sweet tinge of grief
that bitter hit of hatred
spirals descent into the dark void
that forever hides the light
To be included in my next collection, **** River Sins.
Wake me up
when this life is over.
It's not worth the time
it takes to learn
how to  survive.

Wake me up
when this lifetime ends
Just another notch
in the bedpost
of time

Paging Mister Sandman
to take me away
into a sleep
an escape
to wake when it is over

Wake me up.
For right now, it's just longing,
With a false sense of hope.
For right now, it's hoping the spring will be able to salvage what little winter left in us.

The grounds were still frozen when you passed,
So ashes you are now,
Into the air like heavy smoke,
with no stone to remember your name.
But we will.

For right now, it's trying to make the best out of the worst,
Parties at your house are unsettling,
8 pm without drunk karaoke,
No cowboys hats,
Just the echo of Mr. Johnny Cash.

For right now, it's pretending.
That loss hasn't made its way into our daily routine,
And memories haven't cluttered into every few thoughts.
Maybe we'll feel better in another six months,
Or not,
I don't really know.

At some points of my life, I feel completely lost, distracted or in pain,but I keep going, believing that one day everything will be Better.

Like smoke you dance in my daydreams,
Beckoning me with **** me eyes and a lazy grin
An orange hue sunsetting your fire,
The curl of your finger saying come hither

And I wake from this like fire into water
I watch you twirl slower and slower
Into steam, you disappear like the wind
and with resignation again I'll dream
