Ups and downs

Phil ListerLeave a comment

I don’t understand

Why my emotions are so strong

Like being prodded with a stick

What is going on?

One moment I am up

I am ok with the day

I don’t need it to end

I do not feel afraid

But then there are the downs

And they really mess me up

Looking always for the escape

Cause I want it so much

I try to control my emotions

To get on top of them

But sometimes they’re stronger than me

It drives me round the bend

Why is it so hard?

To get along with life

We always just seem to cope

Trying not to subside

The roses wilting

Phil ListerLeave a comment

The roses wilting

Over the side of the glass

Sensed they had given up

Could not forever last

My sickening feeling

Inside of me

Sadness seeping out

Wanting to be freed

They look so tired

As if it’s the end

Flowers to one side

No way to mend

As I gaze down

Studying the floor

A tear leaves my eye

I can’t do this anymore

Grabbing the stalks

Piercing my hand

Throwing with force

Don’t care where they land

As I collapse to the floor

Feeling sorry for myself

I have given up

I need to find help

Isolation isolation isolation

Phil ListerLeave a comment

Isolation isolation isolation

Go mess yourself

Isolation isolation isolation

It’s my mental health

.

How long will it be

Until I shall be free

Stuck in my house

With my big damn mouth

Oh my what glee

.

There’s only so much I can do

200 bog rolls oh poo

Oh why’d I buy so much

Oh my I’ve had enough

.

So I’ll sing my song

You better sing along

And if you don’t

You probably wont

Isolation for you

Corona

It is coming you know for all of us

No one cares or gives a fuss

It’s just a cold a little bug

You’re invincible, dont give a fluff

People are dying all around the world

People are coughing, germs swirl

It started with one, one patient x

Where are we now? it’s complex

You may lose someone, someone you hold dear

Maybe that will make things a little more clear

Health workers are dying trying to save

Governments are struggling, just to stave

One thing we are asked by all of them

Stay indoors, be responsible my friend

Social distancing, one metre between us

Is it that difficult? really so rough?

This is just the start it’s going to be hard

Support the others, stay on the path

We will beat this, together as one

This is real, it is not just for fun

Help…

Phil ListerLeave a comment

I have never felt so alone

When surrounded by many

I have never felt so imprisoned

Even though I am free to go

I have never felt so hopeless

Even when I can choose

I have never felt so lost

Even though I know the way

.

My tears I cannot cry

My thoughts I cannot lie

My angst I cannot suppress

Even though I try

.

Trapped doing the same each day

The same old daily grind

Gaping hole inside of me

The bottom you won’t find.

.

I have never felt like escaping

As much as I do now

To end it all as a coward

The only way I know how

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!

Embrace the fall

Phil Lister

.

Pitter patter raindrops beating against the wall

Breeding your might, oh how you fall

Watching your trickling, enveloping in mass

Tearing away, eating up the crass

Darkness surrounding, impossible to see

Doom impending, futile to flee

Why would you run? try to get away

Pointless to hide, you may as well stay

Embrace the storm, head on, you must

Have faith in you, place your trust

Refuse, scream, with all your might!

You are the last, the dying light!

Lightning crashing, alluming the sky

Clouds turning, storming wild

Chasms opening, raging hole

Embrace the fall, the end, behold

Road rage

Phil Lister2 Comments

Twat on the road

Yes you you twat

Look how you drive

Amazing you’re alive

Drive too slow

Way to go!

Drive too fast!

Up my ass

Drive me crazy

Being lazy

Leave some room

No your doomed

You do my head in

Being so dim

Glued to my ass

On this bypass

Cutting me up

What good luck

Put your indicator on

You petit con!
