    Through Time, by Juli

    Going chapter through chapter

    Of the series of life

    First book is over

    Now its time to write my new life

    I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried

    To hold on to my past

    It won’t last

    Time flies by so fast

    The library, my true friend

    Our lives vary at the stroke of a pen

    Oh, and then the fiction

    Is inching closer to the truth

     

    I’m tired of pretending

    I’ll write me a happy ending

    I’m tired of pretending

    To be the me they see

     

    The library, my true friend

    Our lives vary at the stroke of a pen

    Oh, and then the fiction

    Is inching closer to the truth

    Never Knew, by Juli

    Shattered like my broken bones

    Never know, never know

    Where to go, where to go

    My ever shifting home

    All I’ve ever wanted was

    A place to call my own

    But it turns out there’s still hope

     

    Never thought the days would come

    When I’d not be on the run

    Turn my 1 into a 3

    Let myself be free

    People put a chain on me

    But I’m the one with the key

    I am able to stand on my feet

     

    You help prove I’m not weak

    In turn, you’ll find what you seek

    I won’t forget everything you did for me

    If you don’t forget me 

     

    Broken dreams and a broken soul

    Never whole, never bold

    Too afraid to stand up tall

    Judgement made me small

    Crying eyes and twisting words

    Leading me to the absurd

    Depths I call my home

     

    You help prove I’m not weak

    In turn, you’ll find what you seek

    I won’t forget everything you did for me

    If you don’t forget me 

    Lullaby, by Juli

    Somedays I had to crawl out of bed

    But there was still a smile on my head

    The world was so big

    The day was so bright

    But I still sleep safe and sound at night

     

    I thought it had it all

    But then I had 

    My first fall

    First time feeling pain like that

    I was real down

    Low on the ground

    But I picked myself up

    And got to running around

     

    Back to being a kid again

    Thought the pain would never end

    Now I wanna stay like this forever

    Looking at my parents eyes

    Never want to be that tired

    Run till the moon’s in the sky

    I don’t need no lullaby

     

    The stories we would read

    Had kids that weren’t like me

    They were kids that I wish I could be

    They didn’t feel pain

    They all looked the same

    And they didn’t know the curse words to curse their own name

     

    Back to being a kid again

    Thought the pain would never end

    Now I wanna stay like this forever

    Looking at my parents eyes

    Never want to be that tired

    Run till the moon’s in the sky

    I don’t need no lullaby
