INFJ Cuts

Edmond Poetry 05/02/2020

INFJ battle

When I let an idea in

And it comes with a person

Hold on wide-eyed

Only to find it wasn’t good

Now it’ll take seventy lifetimes to erase

Dismayed I let my walls down

Don’t look at me

I’m hideous when I need to heal

Pouring stagnant water out

I’ll take all of my energy to eradicate doubts

I’ll be safe to try again

Somewhere else with brand new hands.

This moment I feel, filthy

Used, manipulated by my leap

After this I’ll return and shut my castle up

Gotta reach out but I’ll need prayer instead of luck

God I’m a mess crumbled up

Don’t look at me in this corner sobbing as a super fool

Kiss my forehead and say it’ll be fine

Safe to try again gotta get April out of my mind.

May I?

Hi Edmond, your writing is so powerful. I love this one especially–since I am an INFJ also, I totally understand and feel every word. I found you on INF club which I joined just a month or so ago. I love connecting with creative people like you that I can learn from. Looking forward to more.
