I am broken
May your love
Weld me back together

I am cold
May your love
Keep me warm

I am scared
My your love
Calm my fears

I am empty
May your love
Filll me

I'm not a man.
Just a boy.
What could I possibly understand?
What is there left to enjoy?
My memories will continue to carry on.
Just as long as you can stay strong.
I thought I had a family.
My eyes opened up, I see the reality.
This is a heart broken tragedy.
Please, just save me from my tragedy.
I can't just run away.
I'm stuck. Forced here to stay.
Bury me with all of my remains.
For even after death I'll still live with this pain.
So tell me then, what of me will truly remain?...
Tony Anderson Feb 2019
When you left
My world shattered
Like broken glass
Tony Anderson Feb 2019
They came from a broken family
Violence
Drinking
Child abuse

Their parents fight all the times
Father wants "special" treatment
From his daughter
Sometimes he hungers
For his son
And when it is not father
Mother wants these special times
With the kids

Why
What have these children done
To be treated like this

Brother and Sister
Wish to run away
Leave and never return
To this dreadful place

But for now
They must hang on
As best they can
Drawing strength from each other
Tony Anderson Apr 2019
In the corner of his room
He sits with head between his knees
Bullied
Laughed at
Beat up
He is broken
He is torn
He is hurting
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
Tony Anderson Nov 2018
My tears fall like acid rain
As you play your hateful games
Tony Anderson Feb 2019
Try walking in my shoes
Try living my life
Try having my problems

Guess what
I bet you wouldn't last
5 seconds

So until  you have lived my life
Walked in my shoes
Or Delt with my problems

You bully can just shut your mouth
I don't want to hear it
Tony Anderson Feb 2019
Call me what you will
Just don't call me late for a meal

Fire burning bright and warm
As I set up camp tonight
Roasting hot dogs on a stick
Looking at the stars
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Sitting around a campfire
Telling ghost stories all night
Roasting hot dogs on a stick
Who got a story to tell
Who can put chills up our spines
Let the fun begin
Tony Anderson Dec 2018
Campfire light glow
Roasting hot dogs on a stick
Camping outdoors is so much fun
Stars high in the sky
The moon hangs large and bright
Camping outdoors is so much fun
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Can we talk
I mean really talk
If your phone rings
Will you ignore it
Or
Will I be put on hold while you answer it

Can we talk
If the phone rings
Will you ignore it
Or
Must I say everything in a hurry
To try and get it all in

Do I even matter
Or do I have to slit my wrist
Letting my blood flow like a mighty river
Will you listen
Will you listen then

I know I don’t talk much
But
Every so often
I have things I need to discuss

I have fears
I hurt
I need to know someone is there

Can I lay down my life’s problems
Can I open up
And share what is on my mind

Can we talk
Or
Am I just wasting my breathe
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
A friendly game of cards
Poker
Blackjack 21
Take your pick
No gambling just friends sitting around a table
Drinking beer
Eating snacks
And playing cards conversation light
Laughing telling jokes
Memories remembered
Memories made
Tony Anderson Mar 2019
You see the butterfly
Upon the flower
You sneak up very very quietly
You cup your hands around it

You hold the butterfly
You marvel at it
You wonder about
What makes it fly

You hold its for a moment
Then release it back into the sky
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Challenge me
Make me stronger
Make me see

Challenge me
Make my mind grow
Make me think

Life has it's lessons
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
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
Once you walk in through the front door
You'rea part of the family
We're always glad to see you
No matter where from you may be
Come on in and sit right down
Laughing joking all around

At Charlie's bar and grill we have it all
Shoot pool, throw darts, play cards
Just have a ball
The drinks are good
The food is great
Puts a big smile on your face
Plus there's some neat stuff on the wall
At Charlie's bar and grill we have it all

The waiters greet you with a smile
They sit you down family style
Or just walk up and sit down at the bar
Drinks from all over the galaxy
Food your eyes have never seen
We have been rated four star
Live music with dance floor
Poetry nights and so much more

At Charlie's bar and grill we have it all
Shoot pool, throw darts, play cards
Just have a ball
The drinks are good
The food is great
Puts a big smile on your face
Plus there's some neat stuff on the wall
At Charlie's bar and grill we have it all

Walking art you are
Finger paint spread all over
Red,Green,Purple,Blue
Just to name a few of them
Worth more than any painting

Down a dark cold alley there is a child waiting for help
Do you venture to help the child not knowing where it will lead
Or do you pass by and think nothing of it at all
Tony Anderson Apr 2019
Apple pie in the oven
I can smell it from the porch swing
Grandma's in the kitchen
Childhood memories
Floating through my mind

Cool Spring day
Hay freshly bailed
Me on my ATV zigzagging between the bails
or
Just driving in circles around them
Childhood memories
Floating through my mind

Sitting on the tool box of the tractor
While my Grandpa drove
Or
Sitt on his lap steering
Childhood memories
Floating through my mind

Bottle feeding a baby calf
Piking up walnuts
Piking apples straight from the tree

I could go on and on
Memories made in a moment
But
Last a life time
Tony Anderson May 2019
Riding on the tailgate of the pickup dragging a stick cuting grooves in the dirt road
Jumping off the tailgate running behind the truck then jumping back on
Walking through the dry creek bed looking for rocks
Splashing in mud puddels
Finding turtles under haybails
Just walking through the field exploring


I could go on and on
Childhood in the country
Is the best childhood to have
Tony Anderson Feb 2019
Chili
Beer
Friends
And crazy booths with decorations

What an AWESOME way to spend the day
Tony Anderson Dec 2018

That's not what I ment

Clink
Clink
the glasses chime together
As another toast is made

Clink
Clink
To much to drink
As I fall
Flat on my face
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Clowns dance
Clowna tel jokes
Clowns do other silly things
All done to make us laugh
But
Behind the makeup
Behind the silly costume
They are real people
Real pain
Real fears
They cry
Real tears

So the next time you see a clown
Remember
Behind the makeup
They are real people
Just like you and me
Tony Anderson Jan 2019

Don't let the wickedness of the world, freeze your heart and soul

Let the warmth of love and compassion melt the coldness and hatred away
Tony Anderson May 2019
Passion is red
Sorrow is blue
Greed is green
What color are you
Purity is white
friendship is yellow
Like a good and gracious fellow
Death is black
Like a knife dealt harshly in the back
With all these colors and all these hues
I ask once again what color are you
Tony Anderson Nov 2018
Trees changing colors
Fireworks of nature
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Come travel with me upon the yellow brick road
Come travel with me to parts unknown

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
Tony Anderson Oct 2018
Come Into the jungle
Get in touch
With the savage beast within
Come Into the Jungle
That primal voice
Is calling again

You've held it in to long
Now you feel it coming strong
Freedom
That savage yearning
That has been there
Since the dawn of time

The heat
The sweat
The pure joy of being one with
Yourself
Nature
Creation
The whole universe

You hear it calling
It howls at the full moon
The flames of the fire
The wild dancing
To the rythum and beating
Of your heart
The savage calling
Flows through your blood stream

Come Into the jungle
Get in touch with the beast within
Come Into the jungle
That primal voice is calling again
Tony Anderson Apr 2019
Come sail away
To a land of pure immagination
Come sail away
To a land of your heart's desire

All is possible
All is true
Within this land
Nothinf is old
Everything new

No one grows old
No aches
No pain
Sadness is gone
No tears falling like rain

Your fondest wish comes true
Before the words even exsit your mouth
Puff
right there in front of you

So come sail away
Come along with me
Come sail away
Be forever free
Tony Anderson Jan 2019
Come sail away  
To points unknown
Come sail away
Adventure behold

Come follow me
Chasing the wild wind
Your hearts desire
Is your command

Come sail away
Open yourself to something new
Open yourself fully
To your imagination
To your whims
To anything at all

Come sail away
For the adventure of your life
Tony Anderson Apr 2019
I confessed my love for you
You say you just wanted to be friends

Though I agreed
I feel like my heart was ripped apart
I feel like all the blood in my veigns has poured out upon the floor
I feel like the world is ending
I feel like I am burning to ashes inside  a mighty fire

I confessed my love to you
You said you just wanted to be friends
I'm cool with that
Really
Tony Anderson Jan 2019
Consuming Fire
Holy Spirit
God

Feel my heart
Feel my soul
Remold
Reshape
Reform
Make me a useful tool
Design me for the purpose
You have for me

Lord
Energize me
Wake me up
Ready to spread your message
To those who need to hear

May I never tire of my task
May I forever be a beacon
In the darkness of the world
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
Tony Anderson Sep 2020

A wonderful time in the house

On the crossroads of death and life
My life's been filled with pain and strife
Lord I need your help to get me through
Send me a sign telling me what to do

On the crossroads of death and life
Looking back
The visions cut like a knife
Lord speak to me in my prayer
Let me know you are there

One the crossroads of death and life
I wish this pain would just subside
Headache, gilt, many tears spilt
All from trying to live life my way
Lord guide me home I went astray
Tony Anderson Dec 2018
I dance for life demands movement and has put a song in my heart
I dance for my heart is light with joy and peace
I dance for there is nothing I would rather be doing
