New work

I used to have a soul

Phil Lister3 Comments

These bars so solid

As I lay awake

I cannot move

I start to shake

I wonder what

Did I ever do?

Who I hurt?

I have no clue

Bound in chains

To never leave

Held in solitude

Just to please

Weak and malnourished

Hardley fed

Eaten by bed bugs

This sorry bed

As light shines in

My capture arrives

I wish they would kill me

This life so deprived

But they just look at me

No pity or shame

What’s on their mind?

What is their game?

I used to have a soul

Its spirit just left

It pitied me

Thought it would be best

Life has turned to f**k

Phil Lister4 Comments

Rejection, I’m rejected, all against me

Again and again, darkness filling me

Been waiting for this answer, all day long

No, not this response, it must be wrong

I feel worthless, I’m nothing, a loser, that’s all

Nothing’s changed, I’m going to curl up in my ball

Rejection hurts, getting smacked with a bat

Keep down you shit, stay down flat

Your worthless, unneeded, pathetic mess

You failed, didn’t even pass the test

No matter how much you want it, not gonna change for you

Life isn’t easy, that’s a fact, unfortunately it’s true

I feel low, so low, so fucking low

I can’t shake this feeling, not gonna go!

What do I do? Please, some good luck

Because for the moment, my life has turned to Fuck!

Bossy cow!

Phil ListerLeave a comment

That’s it, I’ve had enough

This job has just gotten too much

My boss is a bitch, she’s breaking my balls

Hypocritical twat that certainly knows it all

Never bloody wrong, always fucking right

Doing my head in, we do nothing but fight

She says to me I have changed and have a nasty side

This comes from a snake, venomous with pride

When ever there is work to be done

She’s in the office, sat on her bum!

If it’s not that then she’s hidden away

IPhone out, having a play

She won’t let me work, get on with it

Controlling me, moving me like a puppet

I just hope that one day I’ll stop seeing her

That day will be great, even, SUPER!

Waiting

Phil Lister3 Comments

Waiting is a horrible thing

What is this news gonna bring?

Is it positive? is it a yes?

Did I do what was asked of the test?

Is it negative? is it a no?

Do I drown myself into my sorrow?

This is killing me, hours and days

Walking around in my own haze

Checking my phone for a buzz or a ring

“When you going to ring you poxy thing!”

I can’t stand it, it’s getting too much

How can one response cause such a fuss

The phone rings, lights up at last

I was quick, super quick, lightning fast

I wait anxiously, saying hello

Is it good news, or just another blow?

Hello, I have spoken to them, this is the news

Thank you, I hold my breath, win or lose?

Alone

Phil Lister4 Comments

I feel so alone

Here, sat here

Nothing but my beer

In my hands

Thinking about ..

Nothing

Nothingness,

Pointlessness

Emptyness

Swig my beer

Swallow it down

Wallowing

Self pitied mess

Same clothes

Odour rising

Bottle caps filling floor

Smash bottle

Into tv

Raged

Glass splitting

Beer spilling

Tears

Flowing

Down my cheeks

To the floor

I am alone

I can’t take it

Anymore…

Scrub it out! Now!

Phil ListerLeave a comment

That mark that’s there, been bugging me

That little grubby mark, shape of a penny

I don’t clean me, hate cleaning things

I’m too lazy to even take out the bins

I’m doing something, tomorrow, maybe

Ain’t doing cleaning, me I’m free

It’s getting to me, that bloody mark

I’m gonna do it this cleaning lark

Block it out, life pushed away

Shit happens, clean it today.

Get the cream out and the brush

That’s not so hard now, what’s the fuss

Pissed off with this, pissed off with that

Scrub that wall bitch, whiten that black

World getting you down, all against you

Music full blast, listen to Muse

Plug in baby, psycho, madness

Scrub it away, all that sadness

Prodigy now, twisted firestarter

Bleeding ears, no need to barter

Throwing things away to drum and bass

Looking in mirror, wanna punch that face

Feeling down, no, adrenaline pumping

Screaming out mentally, heart thumping

I’m gonna clean you, clean you now

Scrub you off this planet, POW!

The roses wilting

Phil Lister7 Comments

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

New work

Have I become invisible?

Phil ListerLeave a comment

Why can I not touch you?

Where did it all go wrong?

Why does nothing happen?

What is this song?

The days go by

The months rack up

Have I become invisible?

What is this love?

If I do not exist

Then why do we do this?

Put a stop to this torment

With a poison kiss

Forever searched love

In all its perfection

Maybe I will find it

In my resurrection
