I'm losing my mind. I don't know who I am anymore. There're so many things that I don't know that I should. Who am I? I just don't know anymore. Am I even human? Built piece by piece just before Nibelheim burned. Nothing more then a clone. That's what he said. Nothing more then a puppet in his grand plan. A clone of Sephiroth.

But, is that what I truly am? A fake? Does that mean I'm not real? What I remember, my home, mom, my whole life, is that fake? Am I fake? What am I? Is he right? I don't know. I don't remember. Why can't I remember? I joined SOLIDER to become stronger. To become as strong as Sephiroth.

Sephiroth...

The feeling of intense heat as my home burned around me. The point when he went insane. That must have happened, Tifa remembered it…

All the things I didn't know that I should and other things I shouldn't know that I did... her memories, not mine. The combination of memories, mako and Jenova cells that created me, a numberless failure created by Hojo...

Is it true? Any of it?

Created.

No! It's not true!

Piece by piece, right before Nibelheim burned.

I wasn't created!

A clone.

I'm not a clone! I'm Cloud Strife I grew up in Nibelhelm and joined SOLIDER to show everyone that I could be strong. I joined... when did I join?

I... I can't remember.

Nothing more then a clone, a copy.

No! I'm not... I'm not…

Nothing more then a puppet.

I'm not a puppet! I… can't be…

Then why? Why did I hand over the black materia? Why did I do that? I was nearly the one who... killed Aeris. I don't understand. I don't.

Why did I do any of it? Why do I bend to his commands? Nothing makes sense! Who am I? Please someone, anyone. I need an answer. Please! I don't know anymore. Who am I? What am I? Someone! Please! I need an answer!

...You are a puppet, nothing more.

I'm... just a puppet?

Nothing more...

This little piece is based off something I wrote way back Jan 2005. I really liked the beginning of the original so I kept that the rest I rewrote from there. Tell me what you guys think, please.

(cough) …Please! I'm desperate for a review! Good, bad, be harsh as you like, anything! I'm desperate here! Look I'll even get down on my knees and beg. I'll warn you it's not a pretty sight but I will! Come on, please just one review, it can be one word for all I care, just one! Pretty please! I really want to know what you guys think, I really do.
