Rhyming Poetry To Change Your Day

Philip Lister

Welcome,

I find that in life when feeling down it can be really hard to express yourself let alone understand your own feelings.

My way of expressing myself when feeling my lowest is to shut myself off from the world and write poetry.

In this book I talk about the loss of my father, growing up, being bullied, seeking acceptance and many more poems about life as we know it.

I am truly grateful for fatherhood; it is my biggest positive in life! When at my lowest and most difficult times I hope that I will always my children to pull me through.

Enough about me, I hope that you will find something in this book that you can relate to.

Have a great day and stay positive!

Phil

I never got to say goodbye

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

Bullying scum

How you made me feel

All of you, you cowards

What you put me through

Torture, torment, your reward

From so young, all my childhood

You picked on me

Was it funny? Enjoyable?

To have power, to be?

At first, seven to ten bearable

But dad changed schools

For a moment it was better

But I was never cool

Until twelve, it was ok,

I had my ways to cope

I was small, quiet, shy

But I would soon be broke

Cue the move again,

World upside down

I was messed up

All I did was frown

I was unpopular,

Always alone

Practically no friends

Kept moving homes

I was spat on

Punched, ridiculed too

Stolen from, psychologically tortured

Name it, that too!

I've cried, curled in a box

Took matches and knives to school

Bought a bb gun with me

Anything to try to be cool

I was pushed so much

I lost my head

I raised a chair in my hands

To strike a boy cause I saw red

I hated school

To feel so worthless

These bullies for me

Suffocated me, helpless

Hate is a very strong word

But for these childhood scums

I hope they suffer in their lives

For what they have done

I have no forgiveness

They do not deserve it at all

I hope one day they read my words

That they realize and feel small

If you are a bully too

I am talking to you

Think about who you hurt

And all that you do!

If you are bullied and
