Isolation isolation isolation

Go mess yourself

Isolation isolation isolation

It’s my mental health

How long will it be

Until I shall be free

Stuck in my house

With my big damn mouth

Oh my what glee

There’s only so much I can do

200 bog rolls oh poo

Oh why’d I buy so much

Oh my I’ve had enough

So I’ll sing my song

You better sing along

And if you don’t

You probably wont

Isolation for you

Damaged

March 30, 2020March 30, 2020 Phil ListerLeave a comment

I know I’m damaged

I’ve been hurt so much

Years have escaped me

Wisdom not becoming

Mistakes settling in

Regrets ever more present

Tears no longer fall

My mouth forever shut

Love impossible again

A distant thought

An impossible dream

Forever escaping

Because we can ask why

Even if there is no response

If I were a flower

March 30, 2020March 30, 2020 Phil ListerLeave a comment

If I were a flower

Which would I be?

Would I start small?

Would I blossom?

Would I be visited

by the bees?

Would I be smelt?

Would I be sweet?

Would I be picked?

Would I wilt?

Would I die?

It is coming you know for all of us

No one cares or gives a fuss

It’s just a cold a little bug

You’re invincible, dont give a fluff

People are dying all around the world

People are coughing, germs swirl

It started with one, one patient x

Where are we now? it’s complex

You may lose someone, someone you hold dear

Maybe that will make things a little more clear

Health workers are dying trying to save

Governments are struggling, just to stave

One thing we are asked by all of them

Stay indoors, be responsible my friend

Social distancing, one metre between us

Is it that difficult? really so rough?

This is just the start it’s going to be hard

Support the others, stay on the path

We will beat this, together as one

This is real, it is not just for fun

I have never felt so alone

When surrounded by many

I have never felt so imprisoned

Even though I am free to go

I have never felt so hopeless

Even when I can choose

I have never felt so lost

Even though I know the way

My tears I cannot cry

My thoughts I cannot lie

My angst I cannot suppress

Even though I try

Trapped doing the same each day

The same old daily grind

Gaping hole inside of me

The bottom you won’t find.

I have never felt like escaping

As much as I do now

To end it all as a coward

The only way I know how

Henriette the horse

January 26, 2020January 27, 2020 Phil Lister

Henriette the horse
Likes to run all day
With such strong legs
She gallops away

When she stops her run
She wants to have some fun
To the fun park she goes
Her eyes begin to glow

As she gets ready to jump
Sure she will make a thump
As she leaps into the air
And shakes about her hair

She lands in the pool
As the balls scatter all
She laughs out loud
Ever ever so proud
