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

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

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

Dying Soldier
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

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

Let's go on a road trip
Just pack up and go
No maps
No time limits
Just go and leave it all behind

Let's go on a road trip
Adventures abound
New places
New faces
New memories for life

Let's go on a road trip
The road to place unknown
Let's go on a road trip

Laugh

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

Her

Her
Her hair
Her smile
Her touch
Things I remember

Her energy
Her passion for life
Her loving heart
Things I remember

On that day
Your life was taken away
It broke my heart

Cancer stole you from me
Life is such a ***** sometimes

Your strong spirit
Your drive to excell
Your soul
Just beautiful you

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

I am who I am
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
I am who I am
You may not like me
But that's ok
You are entitled to that

However
I will not change who I am
Just to be liked by you
You either accept me or you don't
That choice is yours

I am who I am
I am a strong willed person
With opinions and ideas
That may not agree with yours
So be it

Just because we don't agree on somethings
Doesn't mean we can't be friends
As long as we respect each other
A friendship can grow
If however you wish to not be friends
So be it

How Do I Love You
Tony Anderson May 2019
I love you like that of a galactic starry sky
My love for you rockets out of sight
You keep me staring for the sight is more than I can take
Like the flower of a rose
I fear if I move this image will break and be lost forever
I do not wish to loose you
For if ever I do I will surely die
Or at the least my heart will be ****** into a black hole from which there is no escape

I love you like a patriot loves his home land
Let the enemy come let them fight their war.
My love shall remain
My heart pounds with the sound of the canon
The rifles are the sound of my footsteps
Running for you to make sure all is right
My love shall never fail
My love shall never fall
For you my love has no strings attached
There is no medal won in battle that compares with you
For you are worth so much more than these

I love you like that of a rose
You are the sweetest thing that I have ever known
You are like a rare gem, you are priceless to behold
I am stunned by your beauty, I am unable to take my eyes off you
I am caught forever in your spell
Lost forever to the world around me
Nothing else matters when you are around
My heart longs to know you
My soul longs to be near you
I long forever to hold you in my arms
For there is no other that could fill this space in my life
There is no other who my will so bends to

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

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

Catching butterfly
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

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

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

Reach for the stars
Reach beyond that

If you just give it a try

Sure you may fall
Just pick yourself up
Try again

Childhood Memories
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

I love you
Though you despise me
You throw your hatred
I don't care
I will show kindness
I will show compassion

I love you
Though you call me names
Though you
Hit me
Kick me
Shove me in the mud
I will take it all in stride
I will not hide my true self

You hate

Two Hearts
Tony Anderson Oct 2020
Two hearts beating
Pounding out a constant rhythm
Love
Truth
Honesty

Two hearts intertwined together
Holding on to the vast truth of life itself
The truth from the dawn of creation

Two hearts alone no more
They have found each other
They are bound to one another
Through love's strong cord
The can't be broken by any force of man

Two hearts forever together
Two hearts as one
Until the end of time and beyond

Fight

Life's true fight
Is within
One's own mind
Tony Anderson May 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

When I Asked You To Dance
Tony Anderson May 2019
When I asked you if you wanted to dance I gave you no reason to pick a fight
I gave you no reason for your attitude

When I asked you to dance
I thought it would
Be nice to share a moment
As we glide across the floor

Instead you accused me of things in your heart you know I would never do
Instead you yelled and screamed at me
For crimes I never committed against you or any other woman

When I asked you to dance
I wanted to waltz over the floor
With you

Instead I have been given nothing but hate
I don't understand this
I'm leaving
Find yourself another date

I Am Broken
Tony Anderson Jan 2019
I am broken
No, shattered
Like a mirror
Splintered into a million pieces

I call out of loneliness
The world turns away
leaving me in the cold darkness
Shattering any hopes and dreams
Of ever fitting in

I do not wish to be a loner
I want to have friends
I want to belong
The world however destroys those dreams
Time and again

Splintered like a mirror
Millions of me
Sad
Lonely
Depressed
Why go they not let me in
Why do the shut me out
My emotions
My thoughts
Shattered into millions of pieces
Looking for one gentle heart
To take this broken soul
To make it whole

The Final
Tony Anderson Apr 2019
I am the final D.J. cool, handsome, and clean
Able to play my albums with ease
I am the final cowboy the last of my breed
Riding on horseback in the cool summer breeze
I am the final captain or pirate maybe
Sailing my ship all over the seas
I am the final spaceship commander
Exploring places unknown going to the end of the universe and coming back home
I am the final child still lying in bed
Trying to prepare for the harsh reality ahead

Your heartbeat

Beating as one
In tune with all creation

New flavors to try
New styles to like
