I write Down
Tony Anderson Apr 2019
I write down my feelings
I write down my thoughts
To releash the tenson
Growing upon my heart
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

Come sail away
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

Confession
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

I need a hug
Tony Anderson Apr 2019
I need a hug
The warm embrace of another
A gesture of friendship and care

I need a hug
I am feeling qite low
A hug to refuel my energy

I need a hug
A kind soul
A loving hert
Willing to warm this icy void
I feel I've become

Do I not count to anyone
I want to know someone cares
I want to know that someone is happy
That I exist

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

Blood flows freely from the wounds

Beaten by the one she loved
Hated in an angery rage

Hate love relationship
Tony Anderson Apr 2019
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
I love

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

12 Roses
Tony Anderson Apr 2019
A man goes to a funeral of a woman he loves.  This man goes to the funeral with 12 roses in his hands.  At the end of the service while people were lining up to pay their last respects to the woman.  The man gets in the back of the line.  When the man gets up to the casket he talks to the preacher who did the service for a moment.  The preacher motions toward the roses intending to put them in a vase to give to the family later.  The man recoils a little at this, and tells the preacher he brought the roses for a purpose.  He asks the preacher to give him a moment before taking the flowers.  The preacher steps back and the man approaches the casket.  One by one he lays the roses on top of the casket, but with each rose he gives a little sentiment.

One for your friendship it shall never be forgotten
One for the joy and happiness you have brought to my life
One for letting me know I always had someone to turn to
One for being a point of light in my darkest times
One for not laughing at me when all others would
One for always being my friend even at our worst
One for inviting me to your wedding and other family functions
One for just being a part of your life
One for always forgiving my shortcomings
One for laughing at all my jokes even if they weren’t all that funny
and finally One for my love that shall forever go unspoken

After the last line the man falls to his knees and begins to cry.  The preacher hearing all this realized the great love this man had for the woman, and the pain he must feel that she never knew.  Bowed his head and also began to cry

Sing your song
Tony Anderson Apr 2019
From the dawning of a new day
To the setting of the sun
There within your heart
Is a song

Praise to Jesus
Jesus Christ our Lord
For all he has given us

Sing your song
Let it be heard
From the mountain top
To the lowest valley

Praise to Jesus
Jesus Christ our Lord
For all he has given us

He knows what's best in our lives
He has the best advice
Go to him kneel in prayer
Headed will handle your every care

Frog
Fully relying on God

He sent his son to settle us free
With his sacrifice upon that trees
A cross made of wood
He rose again and it's understood
Eternal life we may gain
If we just call upon his name

I love her
Tony Anderson Apr 2019
I love her
She doesn't even know I exist
When I am around
She looks through me
Like I am not even there

I try to show my affection
She laughs
Like it's a joke

Why do I love her so
Why do I put myself through this

The Path
Tony Anderson Apr 2019
There is a long and winding path
With trials none other can match
I know these trials shall make me strong
So I shall fight my whole life long
For if I falter or if I sway
I may get lost and never find my way
I shall defeat these trials one by one
I shall finish this path which I have begun

Lord help
Tony Anderson Mar 2019
Like a thorn from a rosebush
Sticking in my veigns
This world is making me insane
Lord I need your light to help me through

Blood is she'd tears are spilt
For my sins and my gilt
Lord I need your mercy and your grace

Headed down a one way street
Into a brick wall I can't see
Life goes by to quickly sometimes

Lord help me slow down
Give me the strength
Help me take one moment at a time

Lord of my life
Tony Anderson Mar 2019
Lord I can here you calling
Through I know I've been stalling
This world has a mighty grip on me
No matter how I tried
This world kept me tied
To the things that once ment so much to me

Lord of my life come free me
Break the bonds reclaim me
As the periodical child that I be

Lord of my life set me straight
Plant my feet guide my ways
So me to the glory make me see

The Wolf

Ears perked

The wolf moves in

Spring

Spring has
Sprung the fields are
Full of flowers in bloom
Bees buzzing collecting nectar
Wild animals in the deep woods
Fish jumping in the lake, weather getting
Warmer now grass has turned green
Buds on the trees new life has
Begun, hay growing in the field
Nature is awesome in
The spring time
Enjoy

Crossroads
Tony Anderson Mar 2019
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

THE PREACHER
Tony Anderson Mar 2019
I walked into your church that Sunday morning
You had your Bible in your hand
You were preaching out the good news for every women, child, and man

You were preaching about salvation
About God’s truth and loyalty
You told us how to receive salvation
So our spirits can be free

I felt it welling up inside me
I fell to my knees
I prayed Jesus guide me

Come on and save my soul
I don’t want to live like this no more
I need you Jesus in my life
My life’s been on one bad trip
My soul feels like it’s going to rip
Come on and help me with my life

When you finished with your service I had given my life away
I still thank the good Lord I walked into your church that day
Now I preach the gospel in a church in my home town
I still remember the day I let the walls fall down

I felt it welling up inside me
I fell to my knees
I prayed Jesus guide me

Come on and save my soul
I don’t want to live like this no more
I need you Jesus in my life
My life’s been on one bad trip
My soul feels like it’s going to rip
Come on and help me with my life

Abuse
Tony Anderson Mar 2019
In the corner of her room
She sits with leg between her legs
She has been abused
Verbally
Sexually
Emotionally
By those she called family and friends
By those she was supposed to trust

Trust, yeah right whatever
Those demons stoll from her
Those demon tore her soul apart

In the corner of her room
She sits with leg between her legs
She does not cry
For crying would let them win
Give them a victory
That
She can not
She will not allow

There is nothing
But my broken heart
And the emotional flood that pours from myself
As I slowly cry myself to death

According to some master plan
The falling dominoes

Going until the final product is revealled

One by one
The dominoes fall
Life as we know it has finished

I am Free

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

ONE BEAT
Tony Anderson Mar 2019
One
One beat
One song
One voice
One

One beat pounding out it’s constant tone throughout eternity
One song joins the beat giving it movement and action
One voice calling from the wild
Calling to all who will listen
The voice brings words, power, and grace

The beat is existence
The beat is life itself
The song brings movement and action
The voice brings words, glory, and power
The voice is by which we express ourselves to the rest of creation

The beat always was
Always is
Always will be
even before the beginning of time itself
The beat was
The song drives the beat forward
It creates movement and action
The song is throughout all creation everyday
The voice pours from the mouths of every human being
It pours from the human soul and heart
Words that bring joy
Words that bring pain
Words that just are

One beat
One song
One voice
Three parts yet all work as one

BONES
Tony Anderson Mar 2019
The bones of the past
They haunt me
The blood of the past
Spills over me like a waterfall
The sins of the past
Causes many tears

I had a dream one night
I was walking through a field of complete waste
Bones started coming out of the ground
Voices from these remains
Started shouting accusing me of such shame
As punishment I am to walk the land
Alone until the end of time

A stack of bone lies in the middle of the field
The skulls start their chanting of accusation
“You left me hungry”
“You did not cloth me”
“You left me out in the cold”
On and on the accusations came without end
Blood starts in the center of the stack and is forced outward
Before the blood reaches me I move on

The ghosts of my victims Float around me
Taunting me and shouting their curses
They throw their bones at me
I beg for forgiveness
However they give me none

I woke in a pool of sweat
Tears streaming from my face
“I am sorry “I shout
“I am sorry”

Their bones forever haunt me
Their blood seeps into my skin
Their voices constantly scream
I can run
I can not hide

I am a solder
Tony Anderson Mar 2019
I am a solder
Though I fight a different kind of war

Day by day my inner demons come
Marching in line
Banging their drums
Flags waving
Acting proud
Ready to tear this poor man down

Day by day
I fight
I can't let them win
Each day's a victory
Or sometimes a loss
Upon the waves of desturction
My emotions get tossed

I know if I continue fighting
If I never back down
That in the end
I shall win

I am a solder
Though I fight a different kind of war

One beat
One song

GOD the beat
Always was
Always is
Always will be
Before the beginning of time
It was so

The Holy Spirit the song
Joins the beat and gives it
Movement and action
It drives the beat onward
So it does not stand still
Or fall on dead ears

Jesus the voice
Joins the other two
It gives
Words
Power
Grace
The voice calls in the wild
It calls for all who will listen

This is the very core of existence
We exist only because
The beat, GOD
The song, The Holy Spirit
The voice, Jesus Christ
All live in perfect form and balance
Without this balance
All falls apart into a void
Full of darkness and chaos

Where Are You
Tony Anderson Mar 2019
Hi, are you listening
Hi, do you even care

I talk to you
It seems each word
Goes in one ear and
Out the other

A relationship is built upon
Comunication
That takes two listeners
As well as
Two talkers
Talking and sharing ideas

However you ignore me
Throw me out
Shut me out
I'm starting to feel like
The only one living in this house

We used to talk
Sharing our
Hopes
Dreams
Giving comfort to each other

Now you seam distant
Off in your own little world
Can I not coexsist in that world with you
Can we not be together again

I'm alone
I'm scared
I wish I could hold you near
Everytime I try to get close
You back away
Like you're afraid of me

Why is that
What have I done
To make you this way
If I have
I'm sorry
Whatever it was
I'm sorry

Please come back
Please let me in
I want to feel your touch
I want to hear your voice
Not this silence
Not this coldness
Not this lonelyness

Hi, are you listening
Hi, do you even care

A single rose
Within this garden grows
A single rose
With bright red blooms
Like a great fire
My heart is consumed
For the knowledge that it holds
By the beauty of this rose
Perhaps it knows of a love that may be
Either for you
Or for me
For this we wait and see
We stand upon our toes
For only the rose truly knows
