I was now in my hell

Phil ListerLeave a comment

Today I crave silence

To be with no noise

Escape the daily grind

Feeling like a toy

It’s nagging behind me

Slumping my shoulders

No power to fight it

My will like boulders

Showing its big white teeth

Take another bite

My soul laid bare waiting

No energy to fight

Devoured by darkness

Sadly for my heart

I was now in my hell

This was just the start

Follow your dreams

Phil ListerLeave a comment
If it makes you happy, follow your dreams
.
Life can throw curve balls and peel at the seams
.
Glue it back together and hold on tight
.
It is a work rough ride, ready for the fight?

Reflecting on life

Phil ListerLeave a comment
What in life have I learnt so far?
My limited wisdom, looking afar
As I reflect back, thinking now
All the mistakes I made, and how!
.
Don’t do like your parents
As different as you can
Spanking for a yes or no
My ass received a tan
.
Talk to your children
Be open about everything
Try to get to know them
Reap the rewards it brings
.
Listen to your partner
Communicate much more
Stop what you are doing
It shouldn’t be a chore
.
Never give up in life
Be a stubborn S. O. B.
Drive and determination
The only way to be
.
You can have regrets
They cannot be changed
No point dwelling on them
You’ll only become deranged
.
Live for yourself
You’re perfect as you are
Don’t live in a shadow
Be a superstar!
.

I never got to say goodbye!

Phil Lister10 Comments

I miss you so much

It feels like yesterday

Years have passed by

All along the way

It happened so quickly

In not even a year

You were taken from me

My biggest fear

I dream of seeing you

Hugging you tight

Holding you in my arms

Smiling with delight

Talking to you just once

To say what I had to say

“Dad I miss you, I love you”

I always will, come what may

Many years have passed

Even now it makes me cry

Remembering like it was yesterday

I never got to say goodbye

We all need a little hope

Phil Lister5 Comments

.

We all need a little hope to get us through this day

For all that is going on throughout the world today

A little bit of positive to cherish and nourish our soul

Something to look upon, we need to have a goal

We can’t go on with this disease, fighting all the time

We can be strong together, we have to use our minds

For all the lies that they spew, all that comes out their mouths

Take it with a pinch of salt, they are only in power for now

For every day we wear a mask and feel like a horse

It may be annoying now but it is only a chore

Thank the heavens you’re not dead, it could be much worse

You could be up in heaven, looking down on earth

Enjoy your food

Phil ListerLeave a comment

.

Never have I been so insulted by you

I prepared a meal which was beautiful

You were sat to receive my dish

You decided to take the piss

3 hours I slaved for that food

Your comments oh so lewd

What was it that you didn’t like?

Why did you have to snipe?

Well do you know what you can do?

Next time make your own food

Just one last thing do finish off

Splat, enjoy your food, I’m off!

The peace of the park

Phil ListerLeave a comment

.

Oh I love the peace when we come to the park

I can hear the birds sing and lark

Watching the joggers as they pass on by

Reflecting on life, not asking why

I love the sun as it warms me up

Not too hot, its just enough

As I watch the water rippling in the sun

Kids feeding ducks, having fun

I stop to breathe and forget it all

Before I leave heaven and I fall

Self doubt

Phil ListerLeave a comment

Why do we seek acceptance in everything we do?

Sometimes I wonder if we even have a clue

We go from day to day just getting by

Living out our day throughout our own lies

Sometimes we reflect, a little too much

Sometimes we don’t, how much is enough?

Is it really acceptance that we seek?

Is it really self doubt that creeps?

But our biggest fear in all of this

The worst fact, that mustn’t be missed

We fear rejection above all else

It hits us hard, our mental health

Until we can’t go on, it eats us alive

Because with self doubt, we can never thrive
