The Soul: Ayanami Rei

A soul of my own…I already have a soul.
No…it is not mine, but someone else's.
I do not feel as others do.
I wonder "why."

A soul of my own…I have the hope.
Hope…a word used frequently, but I do not understand it.
I do not hope as others do.
I know "why."

A soul of my own…I do not comprehend love.
Love…it is trivial, but I want to feel it.
I do not love as others do.
I understand "why."

A soul of my own…I want free will.
Free will…it is something I do not have because I am controlled.
It is what I yearn for in my heart.
I ask "why."

A soul of my own…I already have a voice.
A voice...it is something I cannot use.
I do not speak as others do.
I ponder "why."

A soul of my own…Rei Ayanami.
Ayanami…independent, yet the same.
It will be mine one day.
I will be released.
