A man should not strive to eliminate his complexes but to get into accord with them: they are legitimately what directs his conduct in the world- Sigmund Freud.

I am there,
along on the brink of what defines me,
Which is undefinable,
I am he,
The noble knight of Ireland,
A Puerto Rican philosopher,
Troubled nights in which I gaze
In the mirror of all paradoxes,
A broken dream through unknown doors,
A tragedy of dying soldiers,
I find my self locked up in my deepest fears,
The abyss in which I sleep.

What inspired me to write this was my ideas of dreaming. If i were make a poem about dreaming this would precisely be it. And it is.
