You say you wish for flawlessness
You say you want solidity
You say you wish for perfectness
But I just need security

You say you want a promised land
You say you wish for large
You say you want a life of wealth
But I just need a charge

I wish I had your forwardness
I wish I had your charm
I wish I had your confidence
I wish you'd never harmed

Ooooh! I really like this. In the beginning you talk about the person and the the things they wish for and then you change it to the things that you wish for.. I really like it. I like the way it sounds when I read it aloud. You're a really good writer! You're great! Xx!

I really like this piece! It's neat how you make it seem how whoever it is that you are talking about is someone you are different from at the beginning- and that you're fine with that. Then at the end, when you let us know that you envy this person, it just sort of... falls together. It is: flawless, solid, perfect, secured (:D), promising, going to be large and bring you wealth (haha, I'm kinda reaching now to use these) and put you in charge (yup, i really am)! I wish that that made a little more sense, but basically that's an amazing poem!
