Ego Versus Id

by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen — Read all 1,670 poems by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen

Friday, October 21, 2005

I felt my ego take another blow,
I felt anguish, loss of relationship.
I haunted my soul to find the why. Go
Deeper, I heard, as my flagellate whipped

Itself into bound freedom. That doesn�t
Make sense, I told myself, if I am free,
How can I be bound? Ego, let me count the
Ways� I hate be the one who sees � me.

Ego versus Id. One is Self, one is
All. The imperfect conundrum of life,
Of living, of eternal ponderings
Of cognizant before-knowledge. Of strife

Between Ego and Id, God and Devil,
Pro and con, loved or not, good and evil.

Juxtapositioned, and will-enabled�

EGO VERSUS ID simultaneously presents us with a superb dialogue and drama that gives substance and action to the conflicting realities of the inner self. Making the psychologically abstract into the tangibly visible and palpable is not something every poet can do, but you do so consistently with admirable skill and clarity. Thanks for another fantastic write.

like the way you put this...as a thought, this conception probably lasted less than a second, more of a feeling or realization...

This is sad...elizabeth has quoted my fav lines already. Just one thought, do you need those emdashes...and the ellipsis in between. I see you have an elizabethan scheme, (with some rimes being half rhymes)

Good lines there...
