Toast to life
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
Raise your glasses
A toast to life we make
Friends
Party
Laugh
Joke

Life has highs and lows
Ups and downs
A rollercoaster ride of emotions

Toast to life
Joy and fun
Life is a journey
Life is a path
Travel and learn
All that you can

A toast to life
Raise your glasses high
We only live once
Enjoy the ride

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

I'm a brand new man
Tony Anderson Apr 2019
I'm a brand new man
Not the same person I was before
I have faced challenges
I have overcome
To be stronger
Both physically and mentally

I'm a brand new man
I've given my time
Shared my talents
Proved my worth

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 ***

The confrontation
Tony Anderson Jan 2019
You and me
Me and you
Eye to eye
Toe to toe

Tempers high
Fists about to fly
Blood may be spilt
Teeth may be lost

The heat rises
As we stand nose to nose
At this moment
Sizing each other up

You and me
Me and you
Eye to eye
Toe to toe

The Wolf
Tony Anderson Mar 2019
He slowly approaches his prey
Ears perked
Eyes focused
The time is now
He has chased it through the woods
Four feet pounding
Heart racing
The wolf knows it has won
The prey has fallen
The wolf moves in
Tony Anderson Nov 2018
I slam therefore I am
I write
Speak
And breath poetry
It flows through my veins
It is at the very core of my existence

I slam therefore I am
Every word
Every  emotion
An out pouring of life
Blood
Sweat
Tears
Human life at it's purest

I slam therefore I am
We stand up here
Mic in our hand
Pouring out our
Heart
Mind
Soul
Trying to help people understand
Who we truly are
Where we truly stand

I slam therefore I am
I am Human
I have a voice
That voice must be heard

Jesus is my Lord
In hom I will adore
For he has saved me from my sins
Though I am a sinner
With him I am a winner
I know in Heaven someday
I'll live with him

I treasure your love
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
I treasure your love
Every single day we are together
Is magic
You cast a spell upon my heart
Now I am yours forever

I treasure your love
Like a gem hidden deep within the Earth
It took me a while to find it
But now that I have
I shall never let it go

Your love is worth more than
Gold
Rubies
Diamonds
Your love is worth more than
All the money in the world

Your love means so much to me
I would be lost without it
Your love is
My stronghold
My shelter
It protects me from life's raging storms

The Aborted Child
Tony Anderson May 2019
Mommy, Why did you **** me
Why did you let them take me from you
Why did you let them rip me from your womb before it was time
I know I was brought by
****
Wrongful love affair
Bad decision
However I could have made you so proud of me
I could have made you rejoice at my birth
However you killed me and dashed my hopes
Why
I did nothing wrong
I loved you mommy
Yet you killed me
I wanted to be your child
I wanted to make you laugh and be joyful
I had potential if only you gave me the chance to use it
Yet you killed me
Why
I do not understand
Please tell me did I do something wrong
Did I cause you pain
Why did you **** me mommy
Why
I love you
Yet you let them tear us apart
Why did you not love me as well
I know I came through bad circumstances
I was your child
Your very own
I just wrote this one day, please don't hate me

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 *****

Religious Robot
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
A religious robot I am not
A mindless
Soulless
Emotionless
Robot I am not
I have a voice and I will speak
God gave me that voice

I may be young
But through God I am strong
When I think things are not fight
I will voice my opinion

You can tell me to sit down and shut up
You can say I'm to young
Therefore I have no idea what I'm talking about

Go ahead and mock me
See where it gets you

Sunset
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
The sun sets over the ocean
Blue
Red
Yellow
Orange
Purple
Like the paintbrush stroke from a master painter

The sun sets over the ocean
You can almost hear the hiss
As the sun "touches" the water
Upon the horizon

The sun sets over the ocean
The stars come out
The moon rises
Night has fallen

Dim
Tony Anderson Jan 2019
Dim

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

In the Fields
Tony Anderson Sep 2020
In the fields
Where the wild life play
That is where I spend my days



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

Guide me back to you
Tony Anderson Feb 2019
Lord I'm in a pit of dispare
But I know you are near
Though it is hard to  sence you mow

My life is a wreck
I need a mental check
And my emotions are and acid pool of slime

Bring back your light
Shine it through my blight
Guide me back to you

I am so lost
I am being tossed
Upon emotional waves of doom

I feel no one cares
Yet I know your love is the
Please help to see me Through

Bring back your light
Shine it through my blight
Guide me back to you

Own path
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
If the world knocks you down
Get back up off the ground
Don't let the world hold you
Tell it you're following a different plan

Strike your own path
Find your own way
Do not listen to what the world say

You are not a sheep
So don't follow like one
Blindly going wherever you're told

You are you and there is only one
Live life on your terms

You will not change me
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
You hate me
I love you
You despise me
I love you

You want to see me
Fall
Fail
Hurt
Broken

I want to see you
Fly
Succeed
Be built up

You try and you try to bring me down
You can't change me
No matter how hard you try
I am still who I am
And nothing you say or do will change that
That's right NOTHING

Go ahead do your worst
It will do you no good

Homemade Ice Cream

Homemade ice cream on a hot summer day
So mouthwatering creamy goodness
Enjoying it while on the porch
Best way to enjoy the

Homemade ice cream
Shared with all
Lots of fun

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

Come Into the Jungle
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

Strolling among the stars
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
Here we are
Strolling among the stars
Hand in hand as we move along

Two friends we started out
But more we became as our relationship grew
Now we stroll
Heart to heart
Soul to soul
Among the stars we go

Eternally we go forever
Our love for one another
Hand in hand
We've come so far
Strolling among the stars

The twinkle in your eyes
Like diamonds as they shine
We stroll forevermore
Among the stars we shall go

Angel

If I were an Angel
If I fell from Heaven above
Would you catch me
Or
Would you let me continue falling

Trouble at 200mph
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
Sometimes we live life like we're in a race
We need to back down to a slower pace
Life's a journey,  life's a ride
We need to enjoy it one step at a time

But we go through life on a fast track
Seeing things from the corner of our eye
Living like this is just a death trap
That only leads to our demise

Trouble at 200 miles per hour
Living our lives way to fast
Trouble at 200 miles per hour
If we're not careful,  we're gonna crash

We live at a hectic pace, always on the go
Do this, do that, no chance to relax and reload
We need to slow down, before we go down
We need to recharge our lives
Because we are only heading to our demise

Trouble at 200 miles per hour
Living our lives way to fast
Trouble at 200 miles per hour
If we're not careful,  we're gonna crash
134 · Oct 2020
Silent Whispers
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
Silently I whisper your name
As the tears fall upon my face
You don't know how much I hurt
My heart feels it's gonna burst



Crying tears wash my soul
For the love with depths untold
You were my grace, my one true love
An Angel sent from above



I love you now as I did then
Though nothing can bring you back again
What we had is now no more
We both landed on different shores



When you left with him upon that day
You tear my heart away
Great sadness overtook my life
Cutting me like a knife



Now I live each day in Hell
The home in which we had both dwelled
Now alone I am
Just waiting for the end



I love you now as I did then
Though nothing can bring you back again
What we had is now no more
We both landed on different shores

Dance
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
Tony Anderson Apr 2019
I'm not going to take it anymore
You have pushed me to my limit
I am ready to explode
With a mighty force
That is awesome to behold

I'm not going to take it anymore
You've called me names
Laughed in my face
You push me down
You've spit in my face

My fists are tight
My anger high
I will start throwing blows
As soon as you come into sight

Blood will fly
Blood will be spilt
As I beat you and beat you
And never quit

I will give you a taste
Of the rage that's been brewing
I will give you a taste
Then keep feeding

My fists will come fast
My fists will hit hard
Let's see you laugh
When you're cover in scars

Poisoned cup
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
You look so sweet like my favorite drink
But I see through to who you are
One sip from you and I'll see stars
Because no matter how sweet all you are
Is a poisoned cup
A poisoned cup

You look so good
You smell so fine
I want to drink you up with my eye
But a poisoned cup is all you are
A poisoned cup
A poisoned cup

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

First Date
Tony Anderson May 2019
It’s my first date
What should I wear
It’s my first date
Should I wash my hair

I am so nervous a complete wreck
I haven’t even showered yet
I asked her out
She said yes
This first date there’s so much stress
Just be myself
That’s the key
What if she doesn’t like me
I will try my very best
Should I wear a vest

It’s my first date
Times ran out
It’s my first date
There she is now

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

You See
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
You see my smile but you fail to see my pain
you see my sunshine, but ignore the rain
my tears flow
my heart smokes from the fire burning my soul



you hear me laugh, but fail to see me cry
you see my dance, but fail to see me fall
you see the mountains I have climbed, but fail to see the trenches I've had to crawl through
my tears flow like a waterfall
you only see my life, but fail to see I'm dying inside
tears flow
heart smokes from the fire burning my soul



You see my accomplishments, but never how hard it took me to get thre
you see the goals I've achieved, but never my failures
you see the shine in my eyes, but never the dark clouds over head
my tears flow, I am drowning
you see me, but never truly see me
tears flow
my heart smokes from the fire burning my soul

The machine
Tony Anderson May 2019
The machine is taking over
Indavidualty is being lost
Everyone acts the same
Everyone looks the same
Everyone moves the same

The machine is taking over
Like a well oiled peice
The true self is no more
Only the machine is left
The true self lost
Lost in the crowd
Lost in the void
Lost to the world

Steping in time with everyone else
Marching to the same
Rythme and beat
Even eyes blinking
At the same time
All one mind
All one soul
All one thought

No more fun
No more free spirits
The machine will not allow it
No more free thinkers
No more joy
The machine is stern in its ways

The indavidual now part of a system
A system that demands control
A system that demands loyalty
Loyalty or death
That is how the machine works

The indavidual no longer free
Free to think
Free to be themselves
Free to learn and laugh
Freedom is lost
Just as the indavidual is lost
Now part of the machine
FOREVER

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

Untitled
Tony Anderson May 2019
He comes from the depths of the Earth
He is not quite dead
Yet
He is not quite alive either

He feeds upon the souls
Of those who dare stand in his way
He is nobody's friend
A loner
They called him the wander, the stalker, the claimer of lives.  Among many others

He is a mystery
Showing up from time to time
You never know when
You never know where
So always be on your guard
For if he ever catches you
Your as good as dead

Nobody has seen him
But everyone has heard about him
And those who claim they have seen him
Are locked away in mental hospitals
For it is said
That just the sight of him
Will drive you mad

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

Even if you must stand alone
Stand up, stand tall, be strong

Fight for your rights

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

Guess what

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

Jesus loves me
This I know
Though I'm just a little toad
Sitting here upon this log
Eating flies all day long

Jesus loves me
Though I'm a deer
I know he keeps me very near
And when I've gone astray
He will bring me back again.

Hidden treasure
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
You may have to dig deep down inside
To that place your true self hides
You will find your treasure there
The worth of which there is no compare

You never know how much you're worth
Like a hidden treasure deep in the Earth
But once discovered you shall see
There is so much worth to thee

Once you discover the treasure you hide
00Spread your wings and fly
Hold your true self don't let it go
Only then can you truly start to grow
