I leave the home to walk a bit

Phil ListerLeave a comment

I leave the home to walk a bit

To digest the day and breathe

All the heavyness that I feel

I need to be upheaved

A moment with the nature

For an hour or two

Until it gets dark

Or I haven’t got a clue

I need to empty myself

To push it all out

Release the negativity

The nuclear fallout

Oh that feels so much better

My time all alone

Think it’s time to go back now

To my family, my home

The thing about solitude is

Phil ListerLeave a comment

The thing about solitude is

You can’t have enough

Even when you bathe in it

You’ve not had your drug

You want to be alone

Throughout all the day

You won’t go outside

Come what may

You don’t want to see friends

No not at all

Take the dog for a walk

Not your ball

You would rather stay inside

Drink and watch tv

For in our little head

It’s, well, to be free

I never got to say goodbye!

Phil Lister10 Comments

I miss you so much

It feels like yesterday

Years have passed by

All along the way

It happened so quickly

In not even a year

You were taken from me

My biggest fear

I dream of seeing you

Hugging you tight

Holding you in my arms

Smiling with delight

Talking to you just once

To say what I had to say

“Dad I miss you, I love you”

I always will, come what may

Many years have passed

Even now it makes me cry

Remembering like it was yesterday

I never got to say goodbye

Enjoy your food

Phil ListerLeave a comment

Never have I been so insulted by you

I prepared a meal which was beautiful

You were sat to receive my dish

You decided to take the piss

3 hours I slaved for that food

Your comments oh so lewd

What was it that you didn’t like?

Why did you have to snipe?

Well do you know what you can do?

Next time make your own food

Just one last thing do finish off

Splat, enjoy your food, I’m off!

Self doubt

Phil ListerLeave a comment

Why do we seek acceptance in everything we do?

Sometimes I wonder if we even have a clue

We go from day to day just getting by

Living out our day throughout our own lies

Sometimes we reflect, a little too much

Sometimes we don’t, how much is enough?

Is it really acceptance that we seek?

Is it really self doubt that creeps?

But our biggest fear in all of this

The worst fact, that mustn’t be missed

We fear rejection above all else

It hits us hard, our mental health

Until we can’t go on, it eats us alive

Because with self doubt, we can never thrive

Lily

Phil Lister

This young little girl

In this harsh cruel world

You never asked for this

Something really is a miss

A tumour, this cancer

All you can do is fight

Give all you can lily

Fight for your life

Your family is with you

Every step of the way

And look at all these people

Donating away

If you cannot give a little

Or you cannot give a lot

Pray for this dear girl

Give up, we must not!
