Anakin - A Verse By Sherry Chen

Thanks: To Coral Drouyn for the astounding book, Emma Thompson for her screenplay, Daniel Nutley for his feedback and Elana Myles for her encouragement. Rating: G Summary: Anakin Skywalker reflects upon himself. Time Frame: Takes place from the end of TPM to around the end of Episode III. Disclaimer: I don't own Anakin. I don't own Star Wars. All the credit goes to George Lucas. This is just something that I managed to whip out from thin air. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I Am a boy, Who was a Slave, Who is motherless, Fatherless and Lost. Lost I have been Lost I am and Always will be.

The Sun rises Each morning bringing Another day, But each day My choices remain Limited.

I Am Anakin, A boy who dreams And hopes That one day someone Will take me away Into my dreams, So that, Even though I Will be lost, I shall be happily And willingly Lost.

The Code I try To stick to and Obey, But it is cruel No love allowed Makes me Lugubrious.

I Am a Growing man, A person who Nobody understands Clearly; Nobody I know Any longer trusts Me: Even when I am Telling the Truth.

Master Kenobi I will miss - Or should I? Would I? It is Padme who I will really leave behind, For the others have Already left me.

My Freedom and Happiness I will no longer Have, For once I leave The Light I will have Left forever.
