(Inspired by Neon Genesis Evangelion TV Episodes 25 and 26 – This was written back on February 16, 1999 – Wow, that was nearly ten years ago!)
Original Title: “I… (The Beast That Shouted ‘I’ At The Heart Of The World”)
(Yes, I’m quite aware that the proper title of Evangelion TV Episode 26 is “Sekai no chuushin de ‘ai’ wo sakenda kemono (The Beast that Shouted Love at the Heart of the World)” – At the time I saw the title, all I had was ADV’s VHS sub copy of Evangelion – So, that’s how this ended up – I did mention I was strongly influenced by the last episodes of Evangelion, right?)
Just a little something for the good little children who try too hard to read into the ending of Neon Genesis Evangelion TV, primarily Eps. 25 and 26…
The End Of The World, the beginning of Third Impact, and the successful completion of the Complementation of Man via the Instrumentality, or the Human Complement Project.
My God, Gendou, What Have You Done?

I…
I…
Who am I?
I… I am…
I am I…
I am the one I recognize as myself…
Myself, the me that exists apart from others…
The others, by who I am able to realize myself from…
I.. I who have been…
I have been there, and am going…
Places and moments of the past, places that eventually exist only as a part of myself.
Myself, where I have been, where I came from, where I am going…
Moving on is the inevitable…
I am myself, I who must move on with time…
Moving from the past to the future as a free spirit…
Bound by the barriers I perceive, and which serve to define I as myself…
I…
Who am I?
I am I, who must seek the answers myself, to who I am…
Myself, the one that interacts with others…
The others, from who I derive myself from…
I… I who am going…
By my hands, I am making my destiny…
I…
I…
Who am I?
I… I am…
I am…
Son of Alan, Son of Frank, Son of Frank before…
Child of Alan and Linda, brother to Carolann…
Stranger, friend, classmate, co-worker, a voice, a face… someone…
Friend to those who would welcome me…
Enemy to those who would not have me…
I… I am…
I am…
Who.. am I?
I am the one I call myself as Michael Alan…
I am the one who exists as myself in this world that I am in…
The reality that I perceive, and the truth I accept as my truth…
The truth I believe to be true…
I am… and I can learn to live with myself…
I can know myself, and by knowing that, I can take care of myself…
I am… loved
I am… hated
I am… trusted
I am… misunderstood
I am… twisted
I am… believed
I am… doubted
I am… afraid
I am… brave
I am… optimistic
I am… unbound
I am… longing
I am… seeking that which can make me complete
I am… free
Who am I?
I am… Raider3
