The 'Id' and I

NOTES: This is an original poem. Inspired by Xenogears' Fei Fong Wong's story, which had a striking resemblance to me.

Within me lies a child

Refusing to become mature

And my attitude seems to be mild

Refusing to chase after that lure

And what you see

Is just an Id

The harder side of me

Because the child

Remains happy

And Id becomes wild

Without being happy

I'm not innocent – never so

Did I ever say?

But I've just yet to know

Is love true today?

That Id in me

Lacking in love

Needs happiness to be

That child in me

Filled up with love

Is dark reality

And which is me?

If ever I can gain a hope

If I do smile

No longer will the Id mope

Id won't be sad, for this while

That Id in me

Remaining harsh

May just be the key

The love I seek

Hidden by the child

If I could gain a peek…

I will no longer be an Id

I will no longer be a child

I will be me, both sides rid

Full and whole, just for this while.
