Suicidal rage

Phil Lister8 Comments

Pathetic excuse for a father

Pathetic excuse for a lover

Temper frayed from sleepless nights

Rage envelops with a fright

Snaps in a moment, fist through the door

Argument ensues, emotion so raw

Go on hit me, I deserve it, sorry excuse

Losing it like that, what a recluse

My boy there innocent, said nothing wrong

Aggressive dad, what are you doing, it’s wrong

Take him back to his mums, he falls asleep

I am so sorry, so pathetic, I start to weep

A six year’s olds comments, cuts like a knife

It’s shocking how they look at life

I drive off to work, one thing on my mind

End it, now, escape from this bind

Crash the car, crash it good

Wreck myself break it, if only I could

Selfish of me, to walk out on my family

My kids, my girlfriend what life to be

In the biggest mess I ever could be

I’m certainly the lowest ever I’ve been

Christmas makes you feel really down

Certainly this evening I did nothing but frown

I’ve calmed down now from a suicidal rage

All this because of a depressed snap rampage

Our romantic break, can’t wait

Phil Lister2 Comments

Worked and worked

With the odd jerk

Today was someone’s last day

.

Happy to be home

Tranquil and alone

Feet up finally, yes

.

Doggedly continuing

Back pain killing

Refuse to ever quit

 .

More importantly

Most in fact 

Week holiday and a bit

.

Baby to nanny’s

Pets to a dear friend’s

Bordeaux for us two

.

Our romantic get away

At long last

My dear I love you

Zombie trance

Phil Lister1 Comment

My brain is elsewhere

My body, I don’t know yet

Headaches, migraines

All the time you can bet

I am a robot

No, maybe a zombie

Trance endlessly

Lost as can be

Sometimes at work

I get dizzy, it’s hard

I wait to pass out

And hit the floor hard

Pills, oh often

Each day, everyday

Need it for the teething

My baby’s bad day

One day ends

Next begins

I feel like crap

But it’s me who’ll win

Face of change

Phil Lister2 Comments

.

​Wake up, feel different, I feel sick

Run to bathroom, vomit every bit

Rise to the mirror, wash my face

What the hell, what’s this face!

My hair, my eyes I fall down

I get back up, what is this frown?

I’ve got muscles, je suis beau

I’m taller with a bronzed glow

My insecurities, my patheticness

They are gone, have I been blessed?

I run out the room onto the landing

My mum’s at the top of the stairs standing

” Mum mum look at me, look at my face”

She can’t hear me, what is this place?

I put my hand on her, turn around please

“turn up the heating darling, I felt a breeze”

Positive thinking

Phil Lister17 Comments

.

Are you feeling down, world against you?

Pickled in turmoil in boggy stew

Life throws us curved balls, cogs in wheels

Hide if you will or dare to dig in your heels

What doesn’t kill you can only make you stronger

Use your mind, be creative, think a little bit longer

I may not be the best, you may be better than me

Hey hum, that’s life, your free to be free

Stuck in your job, no way to get out

Yes you can, they can do without

I am just a human in this immense universe

If you don’t fulfill your potential it’s even worse

You are great, you can lead

Others will listen and take heed

Change the world in a day may not be possible

But with positive thinking you are free and able.

I wish that I could write a love song

Phil Lister3 Comments

.

(sing along to Chas and Dave song if you know it)

I wish that I could write a love song

Just from me to you

I wish that I could write a long song

Just so I could say I love you.

You make me feel, 

so happy

And just want to look ……

Into your eyes

Just make me die

Thinking about you

Oh it’s true

What would I do

Without you

By my side

My missus, the wife

Phil Lister4 Comments

I’m in my old caravan, 

And I ain’t got a plan

My wife has just left me

She’s really takin the pee

Cause she’s a selfish bitch

Some people call her a witch

But certainly not me

I’m just happy to be free

She left me for that guy

I can’t even think why

Twenty years my younger

Could of been the plumber

It’s better than staying together

And not knowing whatever

Could of happened to us

No need to make a fuss

She’s outta my life

My missus, the wife.
