——01——

From the moment I opened this book's pages wide, I sought?

To confront and chronicle?the essence of my being.?

To gaze directly at my?id's turbulent tide,?

Yearning for submission, yet desiring dominance,?

In the embrace of a force more potent, I'd confide.?

But alas, the super-ego warned me in somber cadence,?

"Once you traverse that realm, you'll lose yourself, my friend."?

I found myself at a crossroads of persistence and forbearance,?

Thus, a compromise I made, a path to both bend and mend.?

Now, my ego takes the lead, steering my existence's dance,?

Embracing the present, and charting a course for my dreams to transcend.
