Psyche Poem
Psyche
As Freud describes humankind
With three divisions of the mind
Motivations now defined
Id is present from our birth
Driven by pleasures of the Earth
Wants and impulse, no self-worth
Balance, reason from the Ego
Deciding pleasures to forgo
Acting master of status quo
Super Ego stands its guard
Ensuring morals are not marred
Decision making it bombards
Balanced within yet torn by conflict
Three small forces that contradict
One that’s free and two restrict
Combined the three make who we are
From the normal to the bizarre
Psychoanalysis from afar
- Id Ego Superego - Simply Psychology
This is a nice, simple explanation of Sigmund Freud's Id-Ego-Superego theory.
