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
Tony Anderson Feb 2019
Dance
Dance
Move your feet

Dance
Dance
To life's beat

The rythm of life
The joy of life
Flows in every step
Tony Anderson Jan 2019
Dance joyfully around to the music
Dance for the pure joy of life
Dance to truly feel free

Dance for the joy of life

Dance to the rhythm of the soul
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Let’s dance
Share a moment in time together
Hand in hand
Step in step
Our hearts beat to the rhythm of the music


Let’s  dance
Waltzing
Twirling
Gliding
One moment in time
A lifetime of memories
Tony Anderson Apr 2019
Joy

Dancing feet

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
Tony Anderson Jan 2019
Pull off the pettels one by one
She loves me
She loves me not

Letting the future be determined
By this flower in my hand
She loves me
She loves me not
Tony Anderson Nov 2018
Dare to excell
Dare to succeed
Reach for the sky
Dream high
Dream high
Tony Anderson Dec 2018
There within the pit of darkness
Within my soul
The depth of which
yet untold

There is a darkness
Growing in my heart
Threatening to tear my world apart

For all that darkness
I can't see
Who it is
I truly be
Tony Anderson Mar 2019
Having much fun with family and friends
Cook out fun day at the town lake
Playing games fun in the sun
The smell of grills blazing
Kids on the playground
Kites in the air
Lots of fun
Had that
Day
Tony Anderson Nov 2020
Day by day
Our love just walked away
We tried
And
We tried
Nothing seemed to work

Day by day
We gave it our all
Put every last ounce we had
To try and make things right

Day by day
We realized we were starting to see the end
No matter how hard we tried
No matter how much we loved each other

Day by day
We drifted further and further apart
Until there was nothing left
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
My heart is on fire
As death surrounds me
A bottomless pit of empty space
Emotionless void

I try to cry out
Put there is only silence
A vacum ***** away my words
Before they can make a sound

The only sound comes from
The tormented souls
In anguish and pain
They sound all around me
Entering my mind and soul
Tearing me apart

And driving me crazy
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Life

River runs both deep and wide
How do I get to the other side
Tony Anderson Jan 2019
Don't let others determine
Who you are
Find your own path
Find your own way
Define yourself
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
When life's demons come your way
To take the joy out of your day
Blue skies to grey
Sunshine to rain

Don,t give up hope, no need to fall
Even when you're up against the wall
There is someone you need to call
He'll help you through it all

Demon Slayer
Demon Slayer
Fast and quick

Demon Slayer
Demon Slayer
He'll never quit

No need to run no need to hide
For the demon Slayer is by your side
He'll never leave you in a jam
He'll hit those demons like a ram

Demon Slayer
Demon Slayer
Fast and quick

Demon Slayer
Demon Slayer
He'll never quit
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Depression is an acid
That slowly
Eats away
Your heart and soul

Depression is a void
From which
There is no escape

You lose interest in things that used to bring you such joy
You fade away from the people you love and care about

Depression is a piece of fly paper
Once it sticks to you
You can never get it off

Depression is a killer
Sneaking up behind you
To stab you in the back

You no longer see in color all is gray
You no longer feel true joy just an empty facade

Depression is a hole in your heart
An emptiness
A vacant spot
An icy tomb
To never be warm

Depression is putting a smile on your face
When all you want to do is die
Cast off leave the world behind

You smile so the world doesn’t see the pain
You smile so the world doesn’t see the fear

Depression is being sad and not knowing why
A constant rain cloud above you
No light just gloom

Depression is always fearing the worst will happen
Depression is a car spinning out of control
Depression is a tornado inside destroying your life
Depression is voices from your past that even afters years
They still haunt you
Teasing
Laughing
Tearing you down bit by bit

Depression is never seeing yourself as good enough
Tony Anderson Jan 2019
This iceberg grows
As the cold wind of depression
Courses through my veins
Tony Anderson Dec 2018
Saddness
Sarrow
Grief
Pain
All well up inside me
Like a deep pit

I try to climb out
Put I slip
And fall back in

Is there no light for me?
Is there no laughter?
Why all the darkness?
Why all the suffering?
Tony Anderson Nov 2018
Depression is like
A spear of ice
Stuck into your heart
Freezing you
From the inside out

Depression is like
Living in a world of shadows
No sun to warm you
Always cold
Always alone
You can hear people talking
But they sound
Distant and far away

Depression is like
Being half dead
You may be alive
To the world around you
However
You feel dead inside
Tony Anderson Nov 2020
She deserved better
And I knew it
So I stepped aside
And let her go
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
You are beautiful  with a radiant smile
You life up the lives of those you hold dear
You have a caring heart your eyes shine night
Yes, I can see the diamonds in your eyes

You are the one that I can see
Who was ment for a wretch like me
You remove the to help me see the light
I can see the diamonds in your eyes

When you speak to me with loving care
I have no fear when you are near
You soul shines so bright
I can see the diamonds in your eyes
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
Dim
Tony Anderson Jan 2019
Dim
I have aged
My sight grows dim
You have stuck with me
Through thick and thin

My eyes may be dim
But I can see
By the light
You show to me
Tony Anderson Jan 2019
Two teams
One on each side of the court
***** lined up on the center line
We stand focused
We stand ready
Waiting for the GO

The Whistle blows
Off we run
Like bullets being shot from a gun
Run to the center
Grab a ball
Then throw

Grab the *****
Throw them about
But do not get tagged by an opponents ball
Or else be called out
Tony Anderson Mar 2019
One by one
The dominoes fall
According to some master plan
The falling dominoes
Setting off a chain reaction

One by one
The dominoes fall
All in a line
Going on until done
Going until the final product is revealled

One by one
The dominoes fall
Life as we know it has finished
Tony Anderson Oct 2018
Don't judge me
I am not what you see
I know I have Birth defects
I know I was born different than you
I have risen above my problems
To show you my heart beats true

Don't judge me
For the scares upon my skin
They do not define me
Nor the soul that lies within
I just want to be accepted
I just want to be friends

Don't judge me
You have no idea what I've been through
The surgeries
The pain
The heartache
The rain
Cuts and bruises from defending myself
from bullies like you
So shut your mouth


Don't judge me
My birth defects
My problems
Are just a small part of my life
Look beyond all that
See me through new eyes

Don't judge me
Thou I may not be
As smart as you
I am not dumb
I do have a brain
I do know how to use it

Don't judge me
Yes I have birth defects
I am not ashamed
I work hard to rise above
So please stop calling me names

Don't judge me
I just want to be loved
Is that asking to much
To look beyond my outer shell
To see who I truly am

Don't judge me
I am human
Not a freak
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
Tony Anderson Oct 2018
Don’t laugh at me
I’m just like you
I laugh
I cry
I fall in love to
Yes there are problems that go with this name
They are things I was born with I’m not to blame

Please don’t laugh it hurts me so
Each harmful word is like a nuclear blow
So don’t look on the outside but rather the person within
So we may become the best of friends

Please don’t laugh
Don’t throw your jeers
Don’t get your joy from my tears
I can’t help the way I was born
Please don’t give me all your scorn

Please don’t laugh and give me pain
Can’t you see we are the same
Yes I was born different than you
Yes I have problems this is true
These things are just a part of me
Your hateful words cause pain to me

Please don’t laugh
Can’t you see
We’re all a part of humanity
I wish you could see
How you make me bleed
Just by being so mean to me

Please don’t laugh
I’m human just like you
I just want to be loved to
Tony Anderson Mar 2019
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.
Tony Anderson Apr 2019
Don’t laugh at me
Don’t give me such pain
While you are laughing
I am showered with pain
You laugh at me
At what you do not know
All your meanness will take it’s toll
Please don’t laugh at me
I want to be friends
I have a lot of love to give
So just let me be the person I am
So we may form a happy clan
Tony Anderson Oct 2018
Woman, don’t taunt me
Don’t play games with my mind
Yeah, I admit your body looks fine
What’s going on up top, that’s what I want to know
Don’t play with my emotions, my heart, my soul

Don’t flash me your wares
Yeah, great pair
Those I could well do without
What, are we gonna pout
Because I’m not impressed by the size of your *******
I don’t want a woman who looks like great art
If she doesn’t show me she is at least a little smart

A good looking woman will talk about herself all day
That kind of talk just pushes me away
Or they talk about things that don’t matter
Man, I can do without all that chatter
Looks are good
Looks are fine
I however want to know your mind

Let me know your feelings and your thoughts
Yeah, personality first that’s what I was taught
A good looking woman likes to strut
So do those call-girls on the street and they’re just *****
One night stand, no I want more
So do me a favor stop coming at me like a *****

Honey the last thing I will say
Babe if you don’t show me some class
You can pucker up, bend over, and KISS MY ***
Because honey I’m out of here
Tony Anderson Nov 2018
Don't stop believing in yourself
Always
Reach for the stars

A mighty dragon breathing fire
Is what lights up the giant lantern
Called the sun

My child, now you know
It's dragon's breathe
That gives it it's mighty glow

(A smaller dragon lights the moon)
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
She is known as the Dragon Queen
Tall
Slender
Flowing dark hair
Her eyes glow like the heart of a fire


But
Don’t be fooled
She is deadly
Her mouth spews fire with every word from her lips
Her use of the sword and dagger has no equal


Many have gotten in her way
Many have tried to stop her
They have all died
Tony Anderson Dec 2018
I am dragon rider
I fly through the air
Upon the back of my winged serpent

I am dragon rider
Together we seek out
To destroy our foe
To bring justice to the unjust
To right the wrongs
done by evil people

I am dragon rider
When my winged friend and I
take to the sky
Evil can run
But it can ot hide
We will find it
And when we do
We will deal with it

So evil doers
Watch out
Dragon rider is coming
Justice will be served
Tony Anderson Nov 2020
Like two ships upon the sea
I feel you drifting away from me
Further and further
Apart we grow
Will we find our way back
I hope so
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
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
2 competitors
100 shots of whiskey each
One by one
They down their glass
Until one of them
Falls on their ***
.
Words get said
Words are slurred
Some words are not even heard

Still they go
One after the other.
Drunken and sad
Shot after shot
Until one passes out
Tony Anderson Nov 2018
Say a prayer
Bang a drum
Say AMEN
Tony Anderson Apr 2019
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
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Depression
Lost
Wandering in a fog


Unclear path before me
Unclear
Unsteady
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Blood flows like a mighty river
An emotional whirlpool
Tries to pull me under


I try and I try
But I can not get a grip
Sarrow flows like a mighty storm within my heart
The force of which
Will tear me apart


Darkness fills my sight
Blindness
Like the darkest night


I see nothing
I hear nothing
I smell nothing
Yet it is out there
Waiting to feast
Waiting to devour

Emotions like this is a beast
Waiting for the ****
Waiting to eat
Tony Anderson Nov 2020
Burning fire in my soul
Love's eternal glow
Tony Anderson Jan 2019
Every step forward
Closer to my goal
Every step forward
Onward I go

I know it's a long journey
To reach that which I seak
Pushing me to the limits
Mentally
Physically
Emotionally
I know there will be scars
Both seen and unseen
But if I give up now
I will never reach my dream

Every step forward
Though the path
Grows rough at times
Though if I keep my focus
All will end up fine
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Evil is everywhere
There is no place to hide


You try
And
You try
But it seems like the evil just gets wose


A dark cloud looms over head
Death and destruction abound
A beautiful land turned to waste
It seems hopeless


Do not loose hope
Remain in the light
Evil will be no more
All will be made right


I know things look dark now
With all that’s going on
Just stand your ground
Trust in the Lord and be strong
Tony Anderson May 2019
Evil is a terror waiting at the door
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
Expand your mind
Open up your soul
Everything is not as simple as black and white

Stretch your limits
Reach higher than ever before
See life in a new way
Enjoy life like never before

Expand your mind
Stretch your thoughts
Express yourself
Like never before

Open up
Do not stay closed

Let your mind be open to all that is around you
Tony Anderson Feb 2019
Expose yourself to me
Share with me  your hopes
Share with me your dreams
Your joys
Your thoughts

Expose yourself to me
Let me know the real you
No holding back
No hiding

Expose yourself to me
Share with me your love
Your heartbeat
My heartbeat
Beating as one
In tune with all creation
