    The idea is strong and so is most of the poem. the ending is solid and works nicely but it needs a little tweaking to make it a finished article.

    An edit to erase the questionmark error is needed as well as the addition of even punctuation to make the reader pause and think in places to reflect on your message.

    I know most teens refuse to use punctuation but it's the best tool a poet has to guide a reader through their work.

    Wishing to open up I would change to Wishing you would open up. This gives the line more impetus and strength.

    look at the whole poem carefully and see where there areas like this (and there are a few) you can uild on to make the reader delve deeper into the thoughts you are transmitting.
