Sunset
Julieta Mar 2019
As the sun goes down
And the moon rises up,
The sky is a sea of colors
That could inspire anyone.

Grab some brushes
And paint me a happy story
Cause my last one burned to ashes
But ours could be glory.

Hurry up now,
I start to see the moon
And you know I don’t like night time
Cause it gets lonely too soon.

Insomnia
Julieta Mar 2019
If you can’t sleep
And your thoughts are scattered
Breathe in
And know you matter

Why are problems heavier at night?
You may ask
It’s when our mind is the most awake
But it’ll be alright

A thousand questions
Flood my head
Will my mind ever be at peace?
No answer.

Nada
Julieta Jun 2019
¿Y si me siguen torturando
La felicidad y la paz?
¿Y si no concibo nunca más dormir
En mi propia cama,
Con la misma almohada?

Me dijeron que estaría bien,
Los que no saben nada
Me mintieron que podría
Y yo crédula seguí nadando

Nado y nado hacia la nada
Este océano es infinito
Como la galaxia
Es lo mismo arriba que abajo

En mi viaje encuentro un pez
Que nada solo como yo
Le hablo y no me escucha
Lo toco y no me siente

¿Y si soy invisible?
¿Y si en verdad no existo?
Quizá para ellos no,
Quizá ni siquiera para mí misma.
Julieta Feb 2019
Hours pass by
As I keep sinking deeper into my bed
Doing nothing
Thinking a million things

I want to get up
Or at least answer my texts
Instead I lock my phone
And stare at the ground

‘I don’t ever see you anymore’
Friends call me out
‘I’m studying a lot’ I say
As I watch my grades drop

The weekend comes by
Plans start to pop up
I can’t think of anything worse
Than going out right now

Keep telling lies
Cancelling meet ups
I’m a bad friend now
I don’t even wanna see ya

But I do
I really want to
And it breaks my heart
To know what you think of me

‘I’m busy’
Has become my elected greeting
But the only thing busy
Is my head and my feelings

I don’t want to fail
Yet I can’t bring myself to study
I don’t want to lose you
But you call and I don’t even move my body.

Only one
Julieta Apr 2019
Time may have passed
Drowning in crowds
Hiding in storms
But I know at last,

It was always me
Who will stand still
As long as I let her
Just be,

There’s no one else with the power
Of loving me so much
I forget about the sour
In less than a touch,

Forever waiting
Alongside uncertainty
Forever expecting
Someone would reach out

It is not up to fate
It is not up to the sun
It depends on her
When is she done,

And she has barely started
To shine her own glow
To live wholehearted
And to direct her own show

Perhaps like the ocean
I had to get so deep
To finally get the notion
It was always me.

Overfull
Julieta Apr 2019
When the days feel heavy
And you’re all fed up,
Remember you got me.

Hold my hand steady
I’ll wrap you in my arms
There’s where you can be free.

Even if your pain is inside
And no medicine can cure
I’ll stay by your side
And give you of loves, the most pure.

I know how you feel
I feel it too
But I think love can heal
You’ll heal me, and I’ll heal you.

Quiero
Julieta Jan 2021
Quiero recorrerte y encontrarte
Quiero abrir tu mente y que abras la mía
Quiero conocer tus demonios y hacerlos mis amigos
Quiero desempolvar tu alma
Quiero reconstruir tu corazón y añadirle un lugarcito para mí
Quiero que me cuentes tus mentiras
Quiero saber de tu pasado y que no importe
Quiero descifrar el color de tus ojos
Quiero verte vulnerable
Quiero oír tus ideologías
Quiero ser tu rayo de sol
Quiero que seas mi tormenta

— The End —
