Goodbye suckers

Phil Lister3 Comments

At least I’m at peace

More people came than I expected

Surprising really

I never thought about this day

To watch my children watch me

I hate to see them sad

I wonder what everyone is thinking?

Are they grieving?

Did they love me?

Are they happy?

Well there is no money

Only debt

Couldn’t even get that right

Worse than Brexit

Look at that shit it left behind

I wonder what they are going to eat?

What do you eat normally?

I would sell my soul for a fish and chips

Oh no, a nice chicken curry

Good and spicy

I wonder whether it’s still as spicy?

Goodbye suckers

I’m off to haunt my ex

I don’t even have to exist

Phil ListerLeave a comment

I’m thinking

Quietly

Wondering in my mind

I’m enjoying the darkness

The silence

It’s almost ecstatic

Perfection as my body floats

As if the goal can be reached

My eyes are closed

But I know where I’m going

My senses heightened

I can feel my breathing

My chest expanding

I hear the inhalation

It’s mesmerising

I don’t have to worry

I don’t even have to exist

Dieting is tough

Phil Lister1 Comment

I used to be a skinny twig

I hated me so much

If you’d put two fingers on me

I’d fall with that touch

.

I always wanted muscles

To be attractive to girls

I even drank those protein shakes

Hoping my muscles would swell

.

I gave up trying

And eventually with time

The weight starting catching me

But I felt just fine

.

Blood tests taken for the doc

I wonder what I’ll see

Only bad thing really

My cholesterol high for me

.

The next time it was better

I was so proud of me

Under control I thought

I felt almost happy

.

But each year at the docs

Another kilo would add

Too much butter and beer

Was making me get fat

.

Until the comments about my weight

Started getting to me

It’s easy how it sinks in

How ever meant to be perceived

.

I stopped eating mornings

Going through to lunch

Not even a snack for me

A little sugar crunch

.

It’s been a month now

My trousers keep falling

I hope it’s really true

I haven’t started stalling

.

It’s funny how a little word

Can get to you so much

Disorder can install itself

Dieting is rough

I’m a little bee

Phil ListerLeave a comment

Ooohh I like being a little bee

Buzz buzz buzz

Nectar just for me

I fly fly fly

Till the lovely smelling flower

Mmmm it’s good

I could do this for hours

This garden is so lovely

Colours all around

People mowing lawns

The chorus of the sounds

I love the people watching me

As I am working so hard

Don’t they know I’m a busy bee?

Not to be en retard

I have to get back

My work is almost done

Starting to get colder now

What’s happening to the sun?

Quick quick quick

Time to get home

Into the hive

That’s where I’ll roam

With all my lovely family

I missed all you guys

Sleep tight everyone

I’m so tired, good night

A ghost cuddler

Phil Lister9 Comments

Been feeling down

Needed some love

So I asked my ghost

To give me a hug

She’s so nice and sweet

She always listens

It’s all that counts

She’s soft like kittens

I like pretending

That’s she’s there

That I can play with her

And brush her hair

But what I like the most

When I need to feel better

She holds me close

And nothing else matters

.

Someone mentioned to me they pretend that there is a ghost and they cuddle them.

Good evening

Phil ListerLeave a comment

Good evening to you

You lovely peeps

I’m tired now

I want to sleep

I have a sore throat

Doing me in

I need to sleep

Have to give in

I saw my friends

I needed that

Felt good to talk

To have a good chat

Keep being you

Don’t ever change

Wait for tomorrow

It won’t be the same

New work

Have faith

I need a cuddle in the morning

There is no better drug

To start off my day

I don’t need money

I just need to feel loved

It’s difficult to feel meh

What is meh?

Why do we have bad days

I feel the worry from the day

Creeping up on me the evening

Whispering in my ear

“I’m here”

I don’t want it

But no matter how much I run

It shadows me

Life isn’t easy

It probably never will be

These challenges are meant to test us

And test they will

My will power will fight on the hills

With honor but kindness

And when I say fight I mean non confrontational

Positive thinking

Because who needs negativeness

That’s eats away

Buttering up our self doubt

One day at a time

One day at a time
