·         Love Me

Someday I want to be Beautiful,
I want you to love me,
And I want to love myself too,

Someday I want to be Happy,
I want to dance with you and laugh,
And I want to see a rainbow and smile,

Someday I want to be Brave,
I want you to hold my hand as I fight this battle,
And I want to walk all over my greatest fears.

Someday I want to be Strong,
I want you to help me tear down these walls,
And I want to run through God's most beautiful meadow,

Someday I want to be Proud of myself,
I want you to change the world with me,
And I want to be good enough,

Someday I want to be Free,
I want you to kiss me and break these chains,
And I want to breathe without the weight of the world,

Can you imagine such a day?
I can. Lord let it come one day.
Hold Me
More than anything I want someone to hold me,
To love me forever and always,
To kiss away my troubles,
To tell me I’m beautiful,
More than anything I want someone to hold me,
To wipe away my tears,
To catch me when I fall,
To whisper in my ear that it will all be okay,
More than anything I want someone to hold me,
To carry me when I’m weak,
To hold my hand when I’m scared,
To nurse me when I’m ill,
More than anything I want someone to hold me,
To make me smile when I’m sad,
To show me the way when I am lost,
To make me laugh when I want to hide,
More than anything I want someone to hold me,
To promise me a better tomorrow,
To stand by my side always,
To share with me love and strength,
More than anything I want someone to hold me,
And I want to hold someone too.

  2. Aw, Rachel, these poems are so beautiful and heartfelt, as usual. Thank you for your honesty and bravery in sharing them. Your use of repetition and the natural rhythm of your lines makes for powerful reading. And the last line of "Hold Me" is just perfect! I love that even your sad poems end on an optimistic note of connection rather than separation.
