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.

After the poet's introspective journey, I eagerly opened the first book in my booklist?

- 'My ID booklist - 01 -?Sexual Outsiders: Understanding BDSM Sexualities and Communities' by Richard Sprott.?

.

.

Here, I make a solemn oath to my id:?

I shall wholeheartedly share my?

knowledge, thoughts, and comments on this book,?

embracing honesty in all my reflections.
