Bitch
Tony Anderson May 2019
My heart was ripped out of my chest
This young lady was just like the rest
Playing me for the fool I am
I should have known it was all a sham
I want a woman I can hold onto for life
Take her home and someday make her my wife
This woman was more like a witch
Casting her spell, boy what a *****

Don't Know Me
Tony Anderson Dec 2018
You don't know me
Though you like to think that you do
You don't know the emotionl whirlwind
That is my life

You see the outward me
You see the smile
You think you know me
You know nothing

You know not
My past
You know not
The torment and pain
That past has presented
You know not
The cobwebbed corners of my mind
And what darkness lurks there

Don't tell me
That you know me
You know nothing
Your words make me sick

Laugh
Tony Anderson Nov 2018
Make me laugh so hard
I feel like busting a gut
My eyes tear up, my face turns red
Make me laugh so hard
I sound like a braying mule
I can't see straight nor walk straight

Life
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
What is life all about
Has anyone figured it out
It seems to be a confusing mess
Full of pain and distress

I know
I know
I know

Life is what we make of it
Live it full
Don't run away from it
Travel your path
Learn along the way
Learn all you can
Until your dying day

All is wonderful and fancy free
An adventure for you and me

Dragons
Elves
Dwarves and more
Come come a brand new world to explore

Follow the white rabbit down the rabbit hole
Follow the white rabbit and enjoy

Jesus is my Lord

For he has saved me from my sins

With him I am a winner
I know in Heaven someday
I'll live with him

Bullies
Tony Anderson Jan 2019
There they are lurking in the shadows
Haunting me
Awaiting with a sadistic grin
Following me
Awaiting for me endure my immoral actions
I tell you cannot control me
But what they do is touch me with their filthy hands
Capturing me
In the perfect frame of mind
Were say
"Don't run cause you cannot hide
Be afraid cause it is you who will die "
There I am beaten, scar by scar it adds
But it will never end. Bullies

Family
Tony Anderson May 2019
We are family
We are kin
Sure sometimes we fight
We always come back to each other
In the end

We are family
I know sometimes
That's hard to see
But we know the truth
There's nothing Like family

We are family
We work together
To build a stronger bond
We share each other's
Good times
We comfort each oth
When things go wrong

When words are soft
Tony Anderson May 2019
Water is soft
Yet
It can make grooves upon the Earth
Those grooves become mighty rivers

Water is soft
Yet
It can tear down mountains
Tear down trees
Tear down homes

Water is soft
Yet
It can wash away cars
Cause sinkholes
To engulf the land around it

When words are soft
They can
Break the hardest of hearts
Turn enemies into friends
Stop the wrath
Stop the rage

When words are soft
They can
Heal the broken heart
Calm the hurting
Tear down emotional walls

What Promise
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
What promise can you give me
What word can you say
To make me believe you love me
Not just wanting to throw my heart away.

Will you lift me up
To rise and know love once more
Or
Will you let me crash upon the rocks of life
Bleeding
Dying
To live no more

I ask again
What promise
What word
What bond
Would make it worth to love you

I am Free
Tony Anderson Mar 2019
I am that I am
Nothing more
Nothing less

I am free to travel life’s pathways
To journey to the unknown
To enjoy each footstep
As I walk the path of life

I live for the adventure of it all
To take on what life brings
To meet the challenges of each day
To not back down

I am free to love
To share my emotional state with another
To share compassion
To be one with those around me

Fine
Tony Anderson Nov 2020
Sometimes I say I'm fine
When in reality
I am fuing inside
I say I'm fine
Because I have no words
To express what is happen

Sometimes I say I'm fine
But
I am falling apart
Mentally
Emotionally
Physically

Sometimes I say I'm fine
I feel as if I am on
Death's doorstep
Waiting for that door to open
So I may go in

Hey Tony
Tony Anderson Nov 2018
Hey Tony
This is your desk chair
Get up man I can't breathe
Also watch those chilies
That was a bad ****
You ripped off earlier
I'll be smelling that one
For a month at least

Hey Tony
This is your computer
Nice love poem you typed up
Is it for me
I know you computer boys
Like computers with big gigs

Hey Tony
This is your stove
Somethings burning in here
Dude I'm throwing up smoke here
Get in here and turn me off
Before the house burns down

Hey Tony
This is your bed
Dude I swear if you talk in your sleep
I will choke you with the covers
Or smother you with a pillow
Your keeping me up at night

Honey, freedom is not free this is true
This is way I come home in a casket to you
I want you to know
I love you so
I fought with all my might
I fought for justice and freedom’s light
I fought so others could be free
Please don’t hate those that sent me

Try walking in my shoes
Try living my life
Try having my problems

Walked in my shoes
Or Delt with my problems

You bully can just shut your mouth

The rich and powerful
Use the poor and middle class
As pawns
For their own ammusment
The don't care if we live or die
They laugh
As they watch us fight

The rich and powerful
Think they own us
Like we're toys
To be used at their will

They think they control us
Like puppets on a string
To dance
As they wish
To do
As they bid

The rich and powerful
Fail to see
They are as human
As you and me

They think because of their wealth
Because of their power
They can look down on us
Like we are nothing
Like we are bugs to be squashed
Under their feet

Lost at sea
Tony Anderson Feb 2019
As I look out upon the sea
My eyes fill with tears for thee
Your ship left by the sunset glow
Sadly your ship never returned home

Lost forever
Upon the waves
Lost on and island somewhere
I may never know

My heart hurts with sadness
Just thinking of you
The good times
The joy of being together

Sadly those moments can be no more
I miss you
My love
My soul
My world

Come into the jungle
Tony Anderson May 2019
Come into the jungle
The fire burns
As the flames grow higher
So does the beating of your heart
As the flames grow higher
So does that wide eye stare

Come into the jungle
Become one with all that is around you
Hold nothing back
Let yourself be free
Let yourself trully be

Come into the jungle
Open yourself to your purest form
Open yourself to the jungle dweller
Lurking within you
Become who you trully are

Stand
Stand tall
Take pride in yourself
Reach for the stars
Reach beyond that

There is nothing you can't do
If you just give it a try

Sure you may fall
Just pick yourself up
Try again
Tony Anderson Nov 2020
When I tell you that I love you
I mean it from the bottom of my heart
I mean it from the bottom of my soul
There is no mountain high enough
No valley low enough
No ocean deep enough
No river wide enough
That compares to my love for you
.
Whe I tell you that I love you
An eternal burning fire
Has been lit within me
The flames of which can never be put out
Even if we part ways
Never speak to each other again
Never see each other again
The flame you lit with my soul
Will continue to burn

When I tell you that I love you
You will never hear words spoken so true
With every fiber of who I am
I will prove those words to you

Full Moon
Tony Anderson Nov 2020
When the full moon rises
the beast within me comes out to play
My eyes grow wide
My nails long
My hair gets long to

I howl at the moon
I howl for joy
I howl for freedom

I run
a hunting savage I am
chasing my prey through the night
I run
feeling the wind rush by as I go

All through the night
Running
Chasing
Freedom at it's finest

In the morning
The sun rises
I return to myself once more
The nights adventure as ended

The Fighter
Tony Anderson Nov 2018
She was a fighter
Champion kick boxer
Black belt  in tie kwon do
Through the sweat
Through the tears
She excelled over them all

She was strong
Both in body
As well as in mind
She fought
She trained
She was the best

Off the mat
She fought only in self-defense
She never started a fight
But she knew how to finish it
And finish it quickly

Off the mat
Out of the ring
She was sociable and engaging
Laughing and joking
Talking it up with friends

In the ring
On the mat
It was all business
Fight or lose
Tears shed
Blood spilt
She gave it all she got
Then she'd give some more

Life crash
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
I run away from my feelings all day
I'm drivin mad by the voice in my head
I can't take this **** all day
My life is going to crash

But I find my life in the trash again
It seems nothing can go my way

I Cut Myself
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
I cut myself daily
Mentally
Physically
Emotionally


The physical cuts
Watching the healing flow of blood
Pour from my veins
Cleansing my soul


The emotional cuts
Never thinking I’m good enough
Calling myself stupid
Trying and failing
Time and again
Feeling lost
Feeling afraid
Feeling unwanted


The mental cuts
My mind bringing up things from the past
Laughing and taunting of bullies
Being yelled at
Being rejected
Getting beat up
Things that happened years ago
Put the mind can not
Nay
Will not forget


I cut myself daily
Mentally
Physically
Emotionally

I am Human
Tony Anderson Apr 2019
I am human
I reach for the highest plains of humanity
I am one with the deepest regions of the soul
My truest self
In all ways
In all forms
In all types

I reach for the goal
However I fall short every time
I try and I try
I still do not succeed
If I never give up
No matter how much I want to
I will one day reach the top

All the pain
All the joy
All the sorrow
All the fun
I am not perfect
Yes at times I mess up
However
If I learn from my mistakes
I am better for it

I am limited by this body
In what I can and can not do
I am limitless in my imagination
So I can do all things
The power of the mind
The power of the body
When they work together
Anything can be done

I Am Human

Tony Anderson Nov 2018
I can't breathe
All your rules and regulations
Suffocate me

I can't breathe
You have got a strong hold
Please let me free

Society closes in
Traps you
To be one way or the other
Society closes in
Squeezes out your life
To conform you
To take away your humanity
To turn you into a mindless drone

Die
Tony Anderson Dec 2018
Die
I want to die
To slit my throat
And end it all

There is nothing left
My life has been shattered
My life is in a heap
Of burning rubble

I want to die
To spare others of my meaningless existence

This tortured soul
Yerns to be freed from
This shell of human skin

I want to die
I feel
Alone
Scared
Depressed
All is dark and dreary

I want to die
It seems
No matter how much I care
Everyone still hates me

Goodbye my friend
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
We grow up together, side by side
Playing on swings, or going down slides
Brothers we were arm in arm
Building forts, walking the trail long

You dad got a better job in another state
You had to move, that sealed our fate
Friends no more we would be
Except by mail between you and me

Goodbye my friend,  you're moving far away
Goodbye friend,  I will miss you everyday

I never stopped calling you my friend
Even though our lives went separate ways
In my heart you're a friend till the end
Until my dying day

Goodbye my friend,  you're moving far away
Goodbye friend,  I will miss you everyday

Hey funny man
Tony Anderson Nov 2018
Hey funny man
Why do you look so sad
You're up there laughing and carrying on
It don't look like you've got it that bad

Hey funny man
Why the tears
What has caused you to cry
It hurts to see you this way
Please get past the hurt and the pain
Please come out to play

Hey funny man
Is the a secret that you hide
Something in your past
That took away your smile

Or was it something during the show
That has taken it's toll
By leaving you sad like this

Well I got to go
I hate seeing you sad though
So long my friend
Hope things get better

Dancing Among The Stars
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
They dance in the heavens above
Locked forever in eternal love
Living in that land so far
Dancing among the stars

Their life is no more
upon these mortal shores
locked arm in arm
In that land so far
Dancing among the stars

Locked forever in an eternal embrace
They whirl and they twirl
With so much grace
Off away in that land so far
Dancing among the stars

In the fields
Where the wild life play

Fixing Fence
Hauling hay
Cutting wood



Feeding the animals upon the farm
Cows in the pasture
Goats in the barn



Alpaca roam eating grass
It is so nice to have days like this last
