Happy birthday mate

Phil Lister2 Comments

.

To my friend alan in hospital on his birthday.

It’s 3 am

My birthday

In a hospital bed.

This is where I have resided

For 2 weeks

Lie my head

.

It’s depressing

Just watching the days

Go by

.

The people are nice

Not many British though

Doesn’t worry me

As I’m moved to and fro

.

Inspected, prodded

Like a guinea pig

I just want to recover

I’m sick of being sick

.

I love when people visit

Just to say hello

I can talk for England

Or so the rumors go

.

My friend Phil

All the way in France

I can’t wait to see him

Just another glance

.

I must stay positive

I am a fighter true

It’s my bloody birthday

I know what I got to do

.

These people all care about me

Care how I feel

I need to get better

That is my will

.

I hope you get better mate, always thinking about you

Pet hates

Phil Lister15 Comments

.

Hello to you all
All my friends

I’m going to talk about something
That drives me round the friggin bend

Ha he ha, what will I make you do?
You don’t know yet, haven’t a clue!

I want to talk about, well, our pet hates
What bothers you? What really grates?

You gotta have some good ideas, I trust in you
Tell me what gets your goat, what bothers you

For me it’s people eating, making noise
Ahhhhhhhhhh stop it, your mouth isn’t a toy

Manners cost nothing, they’re god damn free
So please and thank you is a have to be!

Driving up my backside, well that doesn’t pass
I’ll get out my car and kick your bloody ass

Well that’s a few of my pet hates, now over to you
Come on you psycho, what bothers you?

5 senses of dinner

Phil Lister6 Comments

.

Why can’t you hear me?

Is my voice too weak?

I scream and yell out

But I just cannot speak

.

Why can’t you see me?

Is my body too small?

Do I just not matter?

To anyone at all

.

Why can’t you smell me?

I smell really bad

I’ve been here for weeks

I am starting to go mad

.

Why can’t you touch me?

Just to know I’m not alone

What I would give

Just to go back home

.

Why are you tasting me?

What do I taste like?

Free me from this torment

Please, finish my life

Riches or happiness?

Phil Lister7 Comments

.

Money is great

To get through life

Money is great

To get out of strife

.

It can’t buy you everything

Happiness has no price

It can’t buy you everything

In this labyrinth we call life

.

Choices have to be made

Riches or existence?

Choices have to be made

Decide, be resistant

.

We are judged, judging others

In every step we make

We are judged, judging others

We learn by our mistakes

.

We work to live, not live to work

Waiting to retire, enjoy our lives

We work to live, not live to work

Until health problems are at our sides

.

Riches or happiness

What do you choose?

Riches or happiness

Think carefully, do not lose.

What is a true friend?

Phil Lister7 Comments

.

A true friend

What is that?

Someone you can count on

That’s a fact

.

We have friends

As we go through life

Help you through struggles

Hell and strife

.

Just to talk

On the phone

When feeling down

Isolated, alone

.

An email

Just out of the blue

Genuine interest

Friendship true

.

Even a stranger

That you’ve never met

Cares enough

To show that respect

.

No contact,

many years

Such kind words

Emotional tears

.

Advice to help

No one else cares

This person does

Problem shared

.

Distraught from rejection

Just words can help

A little bit of luck

Relief felt

.

If you want a true friend

You don’t have to plan

Think about others

And be the best friend you can.

Life of Randy (Book One: Theme Park)

Phil Lister5 Comments

When Randy and his step dad fight on moving day his family moves away and abandons him. Now he has to face life and his bullies head on.
Follow him as he embarks on a coming of age journey where anything goes.

Living with best friend Ana that he has fancied for years is, well interesting, especially when her boyfriend Mark lives there too. With stolen glances added to the mix it makes for an explosive cocktail.

He moves out and meets Clara and he thinks it could be love at first sight, but when Ana comes knocking at his door, will he give into temptation?

After receiving some life changing news he is overcome by his emotions. On a path of self-destruction he wants one thing, retribution against his tormentors, but in his escalating rage just how far will he go?

Yes! Success!

Phil Lister5 Comments

In England

I had a good job

I was somebody

It meant a lot

I met someone

Things advanced

She fell pregnant

Wanted to return to France

We moved to France

Left my job

To have a baby

Gave up the lot

I regret not

The choice I made

To be a dad

Even if I was afraid

To be isolated

Conversation nul

Mute even

Life so dull

To start working

In fast food

Never thought possible

But I pushed through

Emasculated

Never felt as trapped

Not able to move

Started to look back

No, no, no

Same email always

With our regrets

Their negative way

I got a 4th interview

A large company

I sold myself

Take a chance on me

The next day at work

I see their lorry

Never noticed before

Will it be fate?

Will I be sorry?

I told myself

If it’s meant to be it will

Angie wished me Irish luck

And told me to chill

Finally some luck

Had shone on me

I’ve got the job

I’m so happy

8 months of applying

Depressing as it’s been

400 applications

Felt like a has been

I told my work

The news today

They were happy for me

In their own way

Goodbye to the fast food

The people that gave me my chance

Now to the new chapter

March the 12th I will dance!

We cannot go back

Phil Lister2 Comments

.

I’m a great believer in karma

As you may already know

I believe what goes around comes around

That’s the way it goes

.

I’ve had some proper shitty weeks

It’s been all getting so much

Then my car broke down

Turned out to be the clutch

.

I had had enough

I cried like a child

My dog comforted me

It lasted a while

.

I been asking myself

Is it cause I don’t believe?

I try to be selfless

And the occasional good deed

.

First stress this week over now

My dog has gone to a good home

She has companions

And lots of space to roam

.

I’m still waiting a call for a job

Been a week in all

Every time my phone goes

I think it’s THE call

.

Still awaiting news for the car

Gonna cost a bomb

So much work to be done

Going on for so long

.

Tomorrow stressing me now

Judgement day

Will change all our lives

It is the only way

.

So I try to stay positive

Although lots of negative crap

Think about the future

Because we cannot go back

A good cry

Phil Lister2 Comments

I’m calling out for help

Friends, family

Begging almost

I don’t know how to get through

I feel it coming

Washing up

Tears trickle down my cheeks

Voice starts to go

End my call

I can understand

Bitter taste

Need to carry on

Then

It floods

Wailing like a child scorned

The only friend I have

That consoles me

The hypocrite

Is man’s best friend

That this bastard cannot keep

I’m just going to give her away

Because she’s too much….

.

In my time of need

She is there

I cry

I cry

I cry

Hysterically

Breakdown finally hits

Will I go on?

Have I got a choice?

Things look bad

They always do

Going through bad times?

Have a good cry
