Freud's Theory of Human Development

The purpose of the world
is to tell you what you can't do.
The world is made to
keep your ambitions scarred.
You will not get
what you can't move
past the filter of the world.
The standard is set high,
too high for me.
Maybe I should have
rested a long time ago.
Maybe I should have 
slept without fear.
Now I know how I lost. I am
made real by knowlege.
