Confidence

This is a wise poem. I sometimes struggle with confidence, and this poem shows the reader how to be confident in a wise way. My favorite part is that you start with morality, showing the reader that confidence without morality isn't really what you mean by confidence. Good job!

You know…this is simple and unadorned, but that simplicity allows it to relay its message in a vulnerable way that could get lost if the poem were more “flowery.”

You make really great observations about confidence and what distinguishes it from arrogance. How it manifests in different ways. You cannot love yourself or others without being able to criticize yourself or them - otherwise it’s adoration.

And you end on a note that’s humble and relatable. Well done :)
