Fire burning bright and warm
As I set up camp tonight
Roasting hot dogs on a stick
Looking at the stars

Don’t laugh at me
I can’t help the way I was born
Don’t laugh at me
Or give me your scorn
You laugh at what you don’t understand
It wasn’t my deal
Life gave me these cards in my hand

Stop laughing
I am begging you please
Can’t you see you are hurting me
Maybe you can see and just don’t care
by my expense you get your might flair

Don’t you see, can’t you see
Just how much you’re hurting me
All these tears should make it clear
However you laugh while others stare

Your laugh and your jeers
Tear at my heart
Can’t you see I’m human too
How could you be so shrewd
You see me as a freak
Try a little harder and maybe you’ll see
You hurt one just like you
Same emotions
Same fears
So please stop your jeers

Don’t laugh at me
I plead one last time
However, seeing I’m not getting through
I guess there is just one thing to do
You speak your curses
You speak your jeers
I’ll just look on and pretend I did not hear.

Poetry is life
Life unyielding
Life with passion
Life unfiltered
Poetry is life

Your love
Is like a mega bomb
Destroying
The walls left behind
By past relationships
Tony Anderson Mar 2019
When the world knocks you down
Get up
When the world blocks your path
Forge a new one

Don't let the world determine who you should be
Stand up
Find your true self
Show it to the world

Ocean's may separate us
But our love remains strong
Tony Anderson Mar 2019
Life is a maze
We go round and round
Everyday
Running into dead ends
At every turn
But
We must never give up
We must never give in

Things may seem impossible
At times
Like every turn
Is a false started

There is a way through the maze
A way to the other side
Just keep picking your steps
Carefully
Never give up
No matter how hard
Things seem

Before you know it
You will be through the maze
