9/11
Fred Tabitha Sep 2021
A shinning light
For the last night
Of so many lives

And as the light fades
But for the dawning
Of the day

But for those
Who's lives
Have just begun

They know not
What it really cost
And on the day

We will remind
Of days and years
And better times

And to not forget
The sacrifice
Of all who did their part

Of all who's lives
Were cut to short
And for those

Who caused
Mission abort
(in other words Forth plane down)

Once Maybe
Fred Tabitha Mar 2020
once upon a time
maybe i was sane
once upon a time
maybe i wasn't to blame

once upon a time
maybe i could communicate
once upon a time
maybe i could think straight

once upon a time
maybe i could see
once upon a time
maybe it wasn't just me

You Say
Fred Tabitha Feb 2020
You say I'm stupid
You say I'm mean
You say I'm crazy
You always seem to demean

Even if I say no
Even when I cry at home
They never said no
But maybe they cry at home

And if they cry at home
Maybe their alone
But i cry at home
I'm almost always alone
to the bullies of the world

Every Day
Fred Tabitha Feb 2020
Every day i fight the good fight
every day I seem to lose
whenever the odds are in my favor (is)
when I'm with  you

Every day that I'm without you (is)
every day i seem to lose
whenever the odds aren't in my favor
i think of you

Girl
Fred Tabitha Feb 2020
there's a girl livin' in her head
tryin' to break through
there's a girl cryin' in her bed
tryin' to live through

there's a girl waiting with dread
tryin to break though
there's a girl dyin' inside
tryin to live through

looking
Fred Tabitha Sep 2019
looking up to the sky
looking back wonderin' why
they chased me
to the ends of the earth
why they hit me
so hard that it hurts

looking down at the ground
wonderin' if i'll ever be found
if i run
as fast as i can
and they run
as fast as they can

looking out to sea
wonderin' if i'll ever be free
will they catch me
all over again
will they hurt me
i'm wonderin' when

cardboard house
Fred Tabitha Aug 2019
was it the tone
am i alone
cardboard person
in a cardboard house

sitting there
just thinking
filled with junk
nobody around

some one came to talk to me
but i pushed them away
someone breath life
into my cardboard house

fair
Fred Tabitha Aug 2019
people seem to think that i'm insane
but i'm only halfway there
and i don't think that's fair

they don't seem to see
i don't remember many things
and really is that fair

maybe they shouldn't judge
maybe they shouldn't hate
and it really isn't fair

him
Fred Tabitha Aug 2019
him
as i walk the streets
of my home town
i  think of him
and get so down

find myself in the city
still thinking of him

an i sit down at a table
that could have been ours
thinkin' of nothin'
but us

and i walk back to my house
sit down think back to

how it never happened
back then
and i look up to the sky
and wonder why

Maybe
Fred Tabitha May 2019
maybe it's peer pressure
maybe it's love
but i don't know
and all i know is
that i can't stop
thinking about you
maybe it's not my fault
maybe it's theirs
but i don't know
and all i know is
that i can't stop
thinking about you
maybe i have a heart
maybe i'm a mess
but i don't know
and all i know is
i can't stop
thinking about you
and it's not your fault
but maybe it's mine
and i wish i knew
but all i know is
i can't stop
thinking about you
i just wish
i could find a fix for this
this is for the boy i like 5/24/2019

Alone
Fred Tabitha May 2019
i'm alone
going where i'm going
so alone
why 'm i going where i'm going
so alone
people think i'm happy
so alone
people think i'm crazy
so alone
nothin's holdin' me back
so alone
nothin's holdin' me down
so alone
nothin's holding me up
so alone

waste
Fred Tabitha Apr 2019
it's a waste of time to try and change her mind
don't even try she's got a guy in mind
it's a waste of effort to try and steal her heart
it's locked up in the dark
don't try and steal her heart

no-one
Fred Tabitha Mar 2019
no-one sees the tears I cry
they are never here
no-one can see through the lies
even those who care
no-one saw the cracks
they didn't even see the mask
no-one sees the pain I bear
they can't see me

Waiting
Fred Tabitha Feb 2019
I’m waiting for the fallout
Waiting for my eyes to close
For the dream to end
For my fate to be exposed
For the chapter to end
For the book to close
For my life to end
For the pain to pass
For the ache to leave my heart
For the world to fall apart

I’m waiting for the sun to rise
Waiting for my eyes to open
For life to start
For my future to unfold
For a new chapter to begin
For a book to be begun
For a new life
For love to start
For a worthy heart
For God to make us smart

Look Me in the Eyes
Fred Tabitha Feb 2019
Look me in the eyes
And see the pain inside
See the darkness
Fading into light
See my sadness
Washed away with joy
See my fear
Fading into peace
Watch my secrets
Put out to the curb
See my pain
Washed away
In the comfort of his arms

Fake a Smile
Fred Tabitha Feb 2019
Fake a smile for a friend
Fake a smile play pretend
Say you’re fine but you wish you could die
Fake a smile say you’re fine
Just trying to get by
Lying through her teeth
Trying to smile
Through her heartaches

Darkness
Fred Tabitha Feb 2019
Darkness fading into light
Shadows sunlight is to bright
Sunlight fading into night
Darkness i have lost my fight
I have lost my light
I have left it all behind
        Can’t you see i’m fine
Darkness fading into light

Shattered
Fred Tabitha Feb 2019
Shattered little girl
Trapped in her own world
Trapped behind her masks
Trapped in the past (in the past in the past)

Shattered little girl
Right down to the core
Couldn't fight it anymore
Couldn't see through the storm

Shattered little girl
Trapped in her own head
Demons out instead
Demons in her head

Shattered little girl
Trapped behind her masks
Can't find any cracks
Shattered by the past

Shattered little girl
Even her personality
It’s a mask
Can’t find any cracks

Shattered little girl
Trapped in her own world
Her own personal hell
Best not to dwell
It’s her personal hell

Shattered little girl
Trapped in the past
How long can i last
Trapped in the past(in the past in the past)

Shattered little girl
Trapped in her own world
Trapped inside her head
Demons out for you instead

Shattered little girl
Her heart breaks
Every time her demons escape
She's so afraid

Shattered little girl
Waiting for the cure
Couldn't fight it anymore
Couldn't see through the storm

Shattered little girl
Trapped in her own world
Trapped behind her masks
Trapped in the past (in the past in the past)

Before I Snap
Fred Tabitha Feb 2019
Can you save me before I snap
I won’t save you after that
Can you deal with the aftermath
Would you save me after that

Can you save her before she snaps
Could you save her after that
Can you save me from despair
Or will you let it claim me here

Can they save her before she snaps
Or are there just to many cracks
Am I too far gone for that
Will you save me before I snap

Can you save me before I snap
I don't wanna deal with that
I can see the aftermath
Someone save me before I snap

Don't just sit back and watch me snap
You don't wanna deal with that
Can you save her before she snaps
Or will you face her eternal wrath

— The End —
