Stop digging it up
Bury the hatchet
You’ll be okay soon
Just repeat the word stop
And take a deep breath
You need to stop racing
Thoughts in your mind
The past is the past,
Just leave it behind
julianna Oct 2018
I am a heavyweight
I carry heavy weights
I can lift heavy weights
I own these heavy weights
I am over these heavy weights
I will banish these heavy weights
I am more than these heavy weights
Thinking. I am constantly thinking about things and meanings and judgements and responsibilities... I’m over it.

Sometimes wearing a choker is
A sign of weakness, a cry for attention.
But mostly, it's a token of strength.
I've walked through hell and back,
so know it.
julianna Nov 2019
Hospital walls
Make me
Want to fall over
Get attention and
Pity
It’s selfish
But I’m desperate
So
Maybe they’ll
Admit me
~
julianna Nov 2018
How bad can I be?
When I’m safe and happy
Something crumbles apart
I start questioning myself
Am I a bad person?
Is this my fault?
Why am I like this?
Yes, the thoughts go away
But I’m afraid, waiting
For the moment when they’ll return
julianna Mar 2019
I’m tired of bodies and thinking
I’m tired of hiding, I’m tired of restricting.
Sometimes the weight bears lighter, but today I was undeniably human
So animalistic,
So human.

I own a heart                  
                     Dark and pumping
It helps
        And it hurts.                                                           It’s near to me
It’s always here

                 Blue and red flashes,
Flesh.  
Blood red.
                                             Soul.

Humble on a mirror
Is something you won’t find
Because humble is a virtue
That people hide inside
I-
julianna Jul 2020
I-
positivity is being slow...
in a slew of good and bad,
opposing moments
roll through my brain
and every day
i pick and choose:
analyze
detect
absorb
deflect
and every day
I feel the pain of
better days
that’s haven’t happened
yet
julianna Mar 2018
I am obsessed with technology.
The noises from other people's lives are just loud enough to drown out my own.
The bright lights give my eyes something better to look at then this eternal mess I've created.
The videos distract me just long enough to survive into the next day instead of becoming another casualty of this world.
The people give me hope that there's something better out there, that if I can hold on a bit longer, something good might happen.
So yes, I am utterly o-b-s-e-s-s-e-d with technology.
julianna Apr 2020
I rummaged around the attic and found emptiness
I pass the hours by filling my head with other people’s voices
Because silence is ice cold
They say it gets better
But here I am, frozen solid ~
julianna Nov 2019
i saw you in the dark.
someone reminded me of you last night.
it's like a drug,
dreaming of you.
i want to move on with every fibre of me
yet i lack the strength to forget you.
somewhere,
down deep,
i hope we'll find each other again
and we'd live the life i made
in my head.
julianna Oct 2018
It was beautiful,
The way he touched me.
He could be ashamed,
But I'd never tell anyone about
The way he grabbed my waist.
julianna Aug 2019
I don’t know what love is but I’ve tasted it before. I’ve danced this dance with you a thousand times. The dreaming took place, no matter the hour as I imagined your head next to mine. I’ve tried to forget you and your boundless warmth and I’ve tried to resist the desire to reach. But I’m afraid that you’ve slipped from me, my life, and my grip, leaving only saudade behind. You won’t remember me in her arms. “Do you miss me?” I think in the dark. “Do you think of me, even at all?” —
Doubts, endless scenarios played in my head. I wonder, I wish, I remain hopeful... and prepare to never see him again.
julianna Sep 2020
If I killed myself tonight,
Would this stabbing pain inside my soul go away?
Would you have regrets?
Would you want to be close to me?
If I died, would you want to be away from me?
Then why do you say these things that make me cry...
You love me, but then why does it hurt
You hurt me
And I’m not going to end it
But I wish something would change

Something has to change.
julianna Jan 2019
My head wanders through the clouds,
But time still passes.
I can distract myself
And try to avoid life.
But it’s inevitable,
Someone will always yank me back down.
julianna Feb 2018
I have seen love
So quiet and so pure
Two people moving
Through their lives like
An intertwining silent dance
Not one word may slip through their lips
Or a single noise out the mouth
For they do not need speech
Or even touch
Just the feeling of a twin soul
Being kindled near
julianna Feb 2020
it’s 2 am
a world I never get to see
i’d stay up all night for you
i love you
julianna Mar 2018
I believe I am stupid
When I lose things that were important to me
Because I remember
I couldn't have thought it was that important
Otherwise, I wouldn't have lost it
I tend to lose a lot of things
So was anything ever important to me?
I think what I am what I'm not.
julianna Nov 2018
Everything begins with I,
Impulsivity and Indecisiveness.
These two words go together, my
Impulsivity and Indecisiveness.
They make me say or not be able to,
Impulsivity and Indecisiveness.
They usually come in a pair, the two,
Impulsivity and Indecisiveness.
I know that they will go away,
Impulsivity and Indecisiveness.
But some days they just flood my brain,
Impulsivity and Indecisiveness.
julianna Jun 2018
Never
Never
Never
Things I'll never do and never say
Things I want to do, but will never say
Things I've never done, but will never say
It's a finite of nevers,
But they feel infinite to me.
julianna Feb 2018
Insomnia, insomnia
Oh, how I loathe you so
You only come and visit
Every month or so

But you come uninvited,
Put monsters in my head
Oh, why can't you go visit
Another person's bed?
julianna May 2020
I wish...
That what other people wanted,
  I also always wanted
Because then I would never have to choose Between being selfless and being myself.
julianna Sep 2020
I wish a had a friend
Someone kind and silly
Innocent yet troublesome
Beautiful, unknowingly so
I wish I had someone to giggle with
To be like a sister
To be a listening ear
Without judgement
Without jealousy
Just a friend.

I love him and I worry about him
I wonder if he’s in good health
Or whether he’s found someone new
Is he in need of a friend?
Is he back at school?
His whole world was disrupted,
But my world is distorted
So I couldn’t be the good friend
When it was needed.
Please repost this, like this, comment on this, whatever... I need something to feel good about today.

January was the weirdest month
My life changed a little
It’s been good and better and great,
and bad in the middle.
Goodbye, January. It’s been so long since I’ve sat down to write. I guess I’ve been so preoccupied and not particularly inspired lately.
julianna Apr 2018
Some say I'm too young to be sad
Some say I'm too young to be nervous,
But at 6 years old I developed signs, but never did I show them
I have anxiety disorder, so my perception is awry
I hear noises when I'm home alone and think I'm gonna die.
My brain is on a high alert, a constant back-round noise
But sometimes light shines through the grey, so I will
keep on going.
julianna Aug 2019
As the hate pours in, I’ll stand my ground
I don’t stand for fake friends
Hopefully they’ll apologize and it can be good again
julianna May 2019
I’m lazy, not depressed
That’s why I lay in bed all day
My room is a mess
And my limbs don’t work anymore
I’m lazy, not depressed
I’m sad because I’m irresponsible
I cry because I’m guilty,
I don’t cry because I’m depressed
I cry because I’m lazy.
That’s all I’ll ever be
No one said that to me
But actions are more than speak
julianna Oct 2018
Intoxicatingly, mistakenly
You’ve caught my eye and now you’re leaving me
Hanging
At least in my head, I’m better off dead
When you leave me hanging
And you’ve ghosted for days
I’m waiting and waiting
Contsantly thinking about what you might say
Or what I said wrong
Will you reply?
Or just write me off...
Or maybe you’re busy
Maybe you’re tired
Maybe you haven’t checked your phone in a while,
Maybe he’s camping and service is bad

Haha I made myself sad and happy again.

But I’m still left here waiting and hanging and waiting... to see what you’ve said.
Not going to lie and say I didn’t write this while singing it. I’m in a Broadway mood.
julianna Aug 2019
I wish you would come back.
What’s left over now that you’re gone?
julianna Sep 2018
My door had opened so wide that it broke off of it’s worn-down hinges.
I guess that’s why you stopped knocking and left.
julianna Dec 2018
Where are you, my childhood?
You were a fool that I loved
Kites remind me when they fly above.
You’re gone but not dead,
Gone but not forgotten.
Your memory still breathes
When your winds blow my heart in.
julianna Aug 2019
Mixed with shame,
A tint of red that calls my name.
Tiptoe around the subject,
Or else you’ll see me burst.
Holding all these things inside
Makes me feel worse.
julianna Mar 2020
I miss you so much, it’s unbearable.
You are much more than just a friend to me.
I love you.
I’ve wanted to tell you that for a very long time... Years, actually.
Please tell me you love me, too.
I can’t imagine my life without you.
I don’t even want to try, I know it’s impossible.
You’re everything I could possibly want.
You’re the only one I see,
The only one.

I hope you get this letter one day...
Soon.
julianna Mar 2020
I’m so much bigger now.
I’ve grown into a young woman.
You were my brother and it honestly hurt when you left without a trace.
I was just a child.
I felt abandoned.

I saw your profile today...
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t tempted to request your friendship, your attention, your acknowledgment of my existence.

But things are different now,
I’ve learned a lot.
And I know you’ve done the same.

What name should I call you by?
I’m unsure.
Are you still the old you?
The person I knew?
Or are you him? The one I never met?

Please know that I still love you.
We’re not friends, but I still love you.
julianna Nov 2018
Let me let you go, I beg
Tell me that you hate me
Erase your joking smile from my memory
And just leave me aching
I’d rather blame you for leaving than have this never ending fling
I thought we’d be forever
But to you, best friend and boyfriend don’t seem to go together
julianna Jan 2019
When did lies become the promise
And tears become a certainty - ?
julianna Apr 2020
I walk a fine line in life...
I could avoid stepping on the cracks,
Tip toe in silence
Follow the rules
Try to be perfect
And ask,
“What the hell is wrong with me?”
When I don’t get it right
Or maybe
I could pick flowers
Skip on the sidewalk
Color outside the lines, sometimes
And finally be okay with getting my hands *****.
julianna Oct 2018
Live on air,
Like I do
Change the subject
To lighten the mood
Pick up the pace,
Then fall behind
Stop caring too much
Fall back into line.
julianna May 2018
no friends
no foes
no one to hear my woes
a drama queen at best
i tuck myself in and rest
i wake up the next day
i feel exactly the same way
a loner is what i am
so i press 'autopilot'
and try not to fight it
because it will all happen again
It will all happen again.
julianna Sep 2018
I long for the day that I can unveil my true colors to you, whoever you are.
To just open up and be vulnerable.
Yes, I long for just that.
To the person I hope to see in my future, if they exist.
julianna Apr 2020
how much we love someone
depends on how much
we love the person we are
when we are around them
julianna Jun 2018
I insult you.
But when others agree,
I insult them, too.
I guess that means
that I Love You.
They're imperfect, they tear me apart, but they still manage to melt my heart. That's when I realize it's going to be okay, somewhere, somehow...

The age old dilemma,

Turning black and blue

To make our hearts beat

Spinning metal hoop
The beauty starts with pain
Learn man in the moon,
Advance to double elbow hang.

It hurts behind the knees,
The first time is the hardest
Your hands get callus-y
But you’ll feel like such an artist.

White chalk will dust your hair
And after class you’re stiff,
But first time in the air,
And you’ll always have that aerial itch.
Draft... I might add more later
julianna Oct 2018
When I feel something,
I just take a stab at it.
Like a 1-2 motion,
To make the most damage
In the least amount of time.
I want to draw blood
And make it last because
I’d rather feel that than nothing.
I think you could call me
A *******,
Or maybe a sentimentalist.
Whichever you prefer.

Tell me what to do.

I never write about anybody else
But me.

I can’t forget everything and anything.
It’s all or nothing.
All or nothing.

Black & white.
Forever.

my words are measured:
two cups of cold with a hint of
warmth
to make it convincing.
I’m genuine(ly measuring out each word that I seem to be spitting out so effortlessly)
