Wound.

My personality isn't as confident as it seems.

It's a wound..

An open wound, crying for love and approval.

Desperately craving a tender touch,

Someone to show genuine affection.

Someone I can truly trust,

The person who want's me for me..

Someone I can forever love.

I love the first line, which tells a thousand life stories in one short statement. I think this applies to most people. We are all hiding our lack of self-confidence & our craving for a more deeply meaningful love. You've stated it so simply & without any adornment or poetic crafting. Some messages are better told straightforward, like you've done here.

Thank you for the review, I always find that your reviews inspire me to keep writing!

Nice one. I do not know much about writing poetry. I do poetry but I am not very confident with the punctuation.
Dear Mistaken Angel, can you tell me how I can learn to make good use of punctuation in poetry?

[Mistaken Angel]

I'm also not very confident. I guess, you just have to write in a way that express's you for you? Sorry I'm not very helpful.

Endearing to the very end of this piece...the words and the aspect for which you show us that each one yearns for more in life...thanks for sharing this work...

[Mistaken Angel]

You're welcome, Thank you for taking time to read and review!(:

[Glen Yumang Manese]

Same to you...good day..

[Dalton Wagoner]

I like your use of metaphor. However, may I recommend that you add something more about the wound being healed; perhaps like "the one I can forever love is the one to suture my wound."

[Mistaken Angel]

Thank you for the suggestion. I will take it in to consideration.

I'm not going to leave you a pretend review full of my reflection, in my mind I know what it was to me. that's not that important to you

It was nice, the words were finely matched. Usually I don't like the popular writing recommendations. It's contrived s**t most of the time. Or dog and pony rhyme schemes rehashing already told stories from the late 1800's.

Although, I think those people need a punch in the dick review sometimes, you deserve a tip of the cap today.

[Mistaken Angel]

You know what, people like you I really appreciate! Thank you, it really means a lot! I love the brutal honesty.

Personality, not money, makes the world go round.
Our personality is the sum total of our genetics and our experiences and nurturing - and any lack in any of those areas leaves us immediately disadvantaged in this world. So I totally agree that a personality can be like a gaping, festering wound. All we can do is tend it and bide our time patiently trying to heal.
Very relevant poem M.A.

[Mistaken Angel]

Thank you, I appreciate the kind, honest review.

[Coyote Poetry]

All of us need to be loved and appreciated.
"The person who want's me for me..
Someone I can forever love."
Love need perfect timing. Someone in the same place with the same needs. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
