Let me out

Phil ListerLeave a comment

So you want to get into my head?

Are you sure doctor? my head’s a mess

I can’t understand it, the emptiness I feel

Nothing will quell it, not even the pills

I quite like the darkness, its comforting way

I’ve got used to it, keeping demons at bay

Though I don’t talk aloud, only to myself

Otherwise you would worry, for my mental health

I’m ok doc, I assure you, it’s true!

I worry about me, you worry about you

My days will dwindle on, just trickling by

Pitter patter rain drops, falling from the sky

Do you hear them doc? drip drip drop

I love listening, like a ticking clock

It’s funny how these sounds, we grow to love

Cherishing pattern, can never have enough

Well I guess that’s the end, can I go now?

I do hope to see you again, I hope somehow

You are such a great listener, how you listen good

All the shrinks before you never even could

You know I’m not dangerous, not really doc

The last time surprised me, a real real shock

When can I get out of here? let me free please

What, do I have to beg? Down on my knees

I promise I’ll be good, I swear on my life

If you don’t let me out, I’ll cut you with a knife

Get my 4th poetry book now

Searching for you is a collection of poetry about love, heartbreak and happiness. A raw journey looking at our search in life to find ourselves and that special someone.

Wait and see

Phil Lister1 Comment

Do you remember the last time you had to wait

How it felt, that unbearable state

Knowing that something was gonna come to you

But you have to wait, gotta go through

Maybe it was exciting, knowing the outcome

At the end, maybe it will be so much fun

Or is it a reward, for all your hard work

You should know, it has left you distraught

Maybe you have done something, waiting to fail

Maybe you are wishing that you could set sail

Remember the first time, when you bought a car?

That new car smell, feeling like a rock star

What else can we wait for? What can it be?

Well I am sorry, you’ll all have to wait and see

Fidoodle

Phil ListerLeave a comment

I have a fidoodle

Whatever that is

Is it a poodle

Or is it a fish

Midnight laughed so

From this doodle bug

Can’t stop herself

Can’t get enough

What do you say

To the god of fidoodle

Do you wanna fight

Or a spicy pot noodle

Can you pick it

Like you pick your nose

It’s a fidoodle

No one knows

Sunday night

Phil Lister2 Comments

I hate Sunday night

Work the next day

Kids off to school

No time to play

Is it for them

Is it for me

I love to have fun

It makes me happy

Now a boring job

In front of a screen

Tapping on the keys

Just a has been

Get better soon

Phil ListerLeave a comment

Oh my little sweet

Get better soon

Hope you stop being sick

Shouldn’t happen to you

Papa is here

I will always be there

Let it all out

I’ll hold back your hair

So happy to see you sleeping

It’s been so hard on you

See you in the morning

Night night, I love you

Our little ones

Phil ListerLeave a comment

Isn’t it funny

How we watch over

Our sweet little ones

To be sure they are ok

Wrapped around their fingers

We’d do anything

As they suffer

We can only wait

And watch

When there are spiders

And flies

Keeping them from sleep

We are there

Is it because they need us

Or we need to be needed

Haunting inheritance

Phil Lister5 Comments

You are waiting here

For when I’ll die

You want my house

That time to go by

For the moment you stay

Watching from afar

Imagaging putting my coins

Into your jar

But I am dying

And you never cared

Where are you

In my moments most scared

You’ll be happy when I’m gone

So you can paw

Over my closest possessions

With your claws

I’ll come back

Dont you worry

I’ll haunt your ass

And make you sorry

I wish i could be happier

Phil ListerLeave a comment

I like the fact I can say what I want

Do not judge

I am only human

My deepest thoughts laid bare

On a screen blinking at me

In a sombre room

Where i hear only my breathing

I adorn the silence

But I yearn for peace

Never happy

Although I have love

If I was to have everything

I would still be unhappy

And I probably will always be

As this emotion has drowned me

I always ask why

I can’t escape it

It is always pulling me back

Even though I am simple

I am just existing

I wish i could be happier

If I dare to dream

Phil ListerLeave a comment

If I dare to dream

Will i be set free

Will my ball and chain

Miraculously unshackle

Will my debts be paid

To society

To my ex wife

Will i be at peace with my mother

Will my father come back to me

Can I dream for peace

An end to the pandemic

Water where there is none

Food where famine has been shunned

Can I help someone

Who needs to be helped

Can I matter to someone

Can I smile once more

Can I be loved

Can I love

We can all dream can’t we

If I could change the colour of the sky

Phil Lister2 Comments

If I could change the colour of the sky

What would I wish it to be

I don’t wish for blue anymore

It just doesn’t appeal to me

How bout yellow, I like it so

So bright and cheerful to see

Like a flower so sweet to smell

That’s the colour for me
