Angel
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
If I were an Angel
If I fell from Heaven above
Would you catch me
Or
Would you let me continue falling
Into the pit blow

Long haul trucker
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
Long haul trucker
Running down the road
18 wheels
For your heavy load

Across the country
Highways and byways
Small towns and big cities

Hook up the rig
Off on another run
Moving down the Highway
Running down the sun

Vortex to Nowhere
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
Vortex to Nowhere
Life sinning around
Death approaches the rim
It tries to take you down



Vortex to nowhere
The mystery beyond
Life in it's final stage
The death race has begun



O great vortex take me home
My life upon this Earth no more
Take me to the world beyond
O great vortex take me home



Vortex to nowhere
Swallow me up
Take away my pain
Let me drink your poisoned cup



Vortex to nowhere
The darkness looms
Death awaits
Within your gloom



O great vortex take me home
My life upon the Earth no more
Take me to the world beyond
Oh great vortex take me home

Mask

The emotion and hurt

That's slowly killing me

Challenge Me
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Challenge me
Make me stronger
Make me see

Challenge me
Make my mind grow
Make me think

Things to teach us as we go
The path isn't always easy
As you may know

But each challenge
life hands you
is a time to grow

Space
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Stars
Moon
Asteroids
Comets

Just a few of the wonders of the univers

Black holes
Vortex of spinning gases
Worlds beyond belief

Space the final frontier

The human mind
Would explode
If it tried to take it all in

The majesty
The power
The  Grandness

I try
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
I am who I am
I try and I try
To achieve greatness
I fall short every time

I should not seek greatness
According to the worlds standards
But rather
I should seek the greatness within me

I should lear to grow
As a person
As a member of the human race

The greatness within myself
When I seek that
I shall not fall

Navigate the stars
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Navigate the stars
here in space
with these two hearts

Love was found
with just a kiss
now
eternal bliss

Our lives forevermore
together they shine

bliss that skyrocketed to the sky
you and I
arm in arm
walking life together
Navigating through the stars

The Nightmare
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
I was cleaning the church
As I walked up the main aisle
Checking to make sure I got everything

When I got back up to the front
I turned around to face the pews

Suddenly the pews were full of skeletons
The skeletons then all stood up and did a **** salute

Then a voice behind me said
"Tony don't be supprised at what you see."

I turned around
But no one was there
Sep 2020 · 30
The dream
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
I went to your wedding
The woman I love
Marring another man

The service was beautiful
You in your dress
He in his tox
Standing under the arch
At the front of the church

The preacher was giving The " I Dos"
The preacher turned to you
Before you said "I do"
You called me to tthe front

When I got up there
You pulled out a knife
You stabbed me in the chest
Then you told the preacher to continue and said "I do"
You were both married

I woke up in a sweat
Sep 2020 · 24
Go wrong
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Where did we go wrong
I thought we would last foever

We started out as childhood friends
That is how our love began
Growing stronger as the years went by

Then one day we said "I do"
Thus starting our wedded bliss.
Two kids
House
Great jobs
All seamed perfect
All seemed right

Until the day you said goodbye
You took the kids
Leaving me alone.

Now I drown myself in tears
Wishing you were still here
Sep 2020 · 27
I Love You
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
I love you
I hope you know
I have tried my best
But still feel I have failed

I love you
Those words may sound shallow
But they ring true

I have tried
And
I have tried
To show you how much you mean to me

You never seem to notice
You walk on past
Like I'm not even there

The invisable man
That's all that I am

I love you
I hope you know
Sep 2020 · 20
I miss you
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
I miss you
Every moment we are a part

Wandering about my purpose
About my direction in life

She

She walked into the room
My heart fluttered
She spoke
I was in Heaven

Be myself
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
People tell me to be myself.  But when I do.  I am told to
Grow up
Shut up
Straighten up
Sit down
Go away
And many other phrases I will not repeat

So which is it.  Be myself.  Or be like everyone else

I say be myself
I am not a mindless drone
I am not a programed robot

I will be myself
I will until the day I die
Anyone who doesn't like me the way I am
Can kiss my ***
Sep 2020 · 22

Slash and Cut
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
A slash here
A cut there
Letting the blood flow
Pouring out the pain
I have felt for so long

Another slash
Another cut
More blood to wash away bad memories
Of abuse
Hatred
Teasing
Laughing
All these things stuck inside my head
Going round and round Like a merry-go-round inside me
Tears fall Blood flows

Another slash
Another cut
I am starting to hate myself
No one likes me
They all treat me like some sort of joke
They poke their fun
They have their laugh
While I am dying inside
While drop by drop
Until I breath my last

Another slash
Another cut
The world starts to fade
No one comes to my aid
I fall to the ground
I black out
Sep 2020 · 25

Life
   Draining
           Away
              Into
                  The
                     Void
                          
                           Life
                               Falling
                                      into
                                          the
                                             darkness

They May Think I'm Crazy
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
They may think I'm crazy
But I don't care
I'm one of a kind
I am who I am
So some people stare

They can't handle
That I'm true to myself
I do not conform
To what the world says is the norm

I stand out
I stretch my limits
I walk my own path

Most people think I am strange
They just laugh

Let them
Doesn't bother me
I'm to real
Blazing trails they fear to tread

Them and their peer pressure
Who needs it
Gives me a headache
Just thinking about it

I may walk alone
but I truly am not alone
I have friends
Friends how understand

I am who I am
I got to be me
Sep 2020 · 21
Drink
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Raise your glass
Raise it high
Let there be good cheer
Upon this night

For our troubles
Which hunt us dear
Seem so far
when friends are near

Drink your health
Drink it well
Fun and laughter
Voices swell

Drink
Laugh
Dance
And more
Go tumbling my friends
out the door

Drink until your glass runs dry
You can not walk straight
Nor can I
Sep 2020 · 20
Ugly
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
You say I am ugly
You say I will never fit in

You may be right to a point
I know I'll never be your friend

There are those who like me
Who look passed the outside
To see the true person within
Sep 2020 · 25
Control
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Black
White
Gender
Sexuality
Nationality
Race

Just a few words
They use to separate us
Why

Power
That's why
They know if we keep fighting
Amongst ourselves
They can control us
They can use us

They fear what they don't understand
So they call it evil
And they get everyone on the bandwagon
Like a bunch of suckers

Don't let them use you
Don't let them control you
There is nothing wrong with people who are different
Sep 2020 · 15
Stand
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Stand up
Show the world who you are
Don't hold back
Let it all flow

The world tells us to
Sit down and conform
Don't be who you are
You are who we tell you to be

I say
******* WORLD
I am who I am
There is nothing you can do about it
You can't shut me up
You can't put me down

I am human
I am an individual
I am one

I am not a robot
I am not a conformist
I stand up
I stand out

The crowd can just pass on
I follow my own path
Blazing new trails
In uncharted waters

I fight for my right to be me
not just another number in your data banks
Sep 2020 · 26
The Machine
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
The machine is out there churning away
Slowly asserting it's power over the people
You think you have a choice
You don't

The machine conforms
It destroys individualism
It destroys Idealism
You must bend to what it wants
Sep 2020 · 18
May My Soul
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Water is soft
Yet
It can tear down walls
Destroy mountains
Move objects

May my soul
Be like the water
Soft
Yet
Strong enough
To deal with whatever comes my way
Sep 2020 · 31
Born Different
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
He was born different
A freak they say
The others would laugh
Mean games they would play

He could not help the way he was born
Isn't like he had a choice

The "Normal" kids don't care
They just want to stare
Poking fun
Making jokes
Causing tears
Sep 2020 · 21
Lean On Me
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Lean on me
I am your friend
I will stick with you
Till the very end

Lean on me
Use my shoulder to cry on
Find comfort

Lean on me
Let us walk life's road together
Side by side
Going wherever life leads
Taking on adventure
Sep 2020 · 21
Stare
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
You ask why do I stare at you
The simple answer is
You captivate me
You hold me in a trance

I know I make you uncomfortable
I don’t mean to
But your mind and soul
Take a hold of my will power

And wont let go
Sep 2020 · 15

I Need To Know You Care
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
I need to know you care
We’ve been friends a long time
But
I feel a distance has come between us

I ned to know
You are still there for me
As I am still there for you

A hug
A friendly word of encouragement
Holding my hand

Just something simple
Just something plain
To let me know you got my back
And I for you the same

Friends need to be reassured sometimes

That they still have a friend

Abuse
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Thrown against the wall
Given a black eye or two
Busted lip
Bruises
Scars
Cuts

The pain
The betrayal
The emotions run wild

She loved him
Gave him the past years of her life
Had to kids together

One day it happened
He beat her ******
She had done no wrong

The next day
He beat her again

This went on day after day
She still loved him
She asured herself he would get better

Then one day
She caught him beating their children
She fought him off
She then took the kids and left

She still loves him
But
She loves her kids more
Him beating her she could deal with
Him beating the kids they had to leave
The marriage was over

Life in prison is what he got

A new life for her and the kids

Love
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
As a mighty waterfall
My blood streams through my vines
My heart pounds every time you are near
Just the sight of you
Just the sound of your voice
Is enough to get my emotions stirring

The song of a goddess
A melody from heaven above
Reaches down to my soul

A soul once dark
Now alive with your spark
You light up my life
With your tenderness and love

Thank you for being a part of my life
