    without--i wrote this when i was 16
    I lack something that everyone should have
    It is known in every place.
    This thing is called self confidence
    You can see it on my face.
    I need this thing so very much
    Like I'm sure that everyone does.
    If you ask me why I need it
    I simply say "because".
    I may not in a beauty contest
    Or anything at all.
    But if I had self confidence
    I wouldn't feel so small.

    You have enough to post your poems for a world of poets to see so, I have confidence in you that you must have overcome it to a great degree, or this exchange would not be possible. I like this from the heart of a young girl: very endearing. Thanks for making yourself vulnerable: in doing so, there is strength.

    I feel that way too.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
