Confessions of an INFP

by Anita Mac

Red lips may be parted
by acknowledging their redness.

I am not a pretty face
or man-hating woman.
I am not a thing to want,
in the best and worst ways.

It is not self-pity
or self-loathing,
only the twist of my mind
and my way.

I'm an INFJ, I was an INFP, but there is too much of a lack of justice in the world. At any rate, I think its a real waste if you really think you aren't a pretty face or a thing to want b/c that's not even true. There are so many ugly people in the world who have no idea how ugly they are from the inside out, that I have to interject when someone who doesn't fit that criteria wastes time on thinking less of themselves than they should.

That second stanza is quite a declaration. This piece is amazingly strong and has great ownership to it.

...i yearn to be an INFP, because my ESFP gets me in as many messes as any self-loathing, i've done my share of that %^&%$+ and i'm also a chameleon, which of course is not fun in the ego department, so i'd hug what you call your ugliness and hope you wouln't/don't laugh at my big ears...a stout write. yeah, gutsy[puttin' it out there], real.

I love how you classified yourself as an INFP, but mentioned what you aren't, not so much what that means. Very clever and heart felt. Great piece Anita :)
