Aspects of Vegeta
By Lady Lark
 
~*~
 
Who am I?
I am Vegeta.
Who am I?
I am the Prince of All Saiyajins.
I am a slave.
I am a killer, a warrior, a lover.
I am a defender, a friend, a father.
I am many things.
Yet I am just one person.
Who am I?
I am composed of muscle, sinew and bone.
I have a heart, a mind, a soul.
Yet they are not mine alone.
I share them and myself with so many others.
Too many others.
Who am I?
I am my memories.
Too harsh and painful for one person to bear,
Yet I do.
I am my past.
Full of pain and anguish, defeat and victory, love and honor.
I am my future.
Uncertain and hidden,
Yet so full of hope.
Who am I?
I am myself.
Who am I?
I am Vegeta.
Nothing more.

AN:  This is the rewrite very first story I wrote for the Dragonball Z Universe.  At the time, I hadn't seen most of the series or read any of the manga.  Most of my information came from Fanfic or Websites like Planet Namek.  I have since seen all of the anime both in the original Japanese and English dub, as well as the Movies, Specials, and Sequel (GT).  I have also read a good hunk of the manga.  So I have a better understanding of Vegeta than I did.
I initially titled this "I Am" when I released it back in March of 2001.  Since then, at least four different stories have used the title "I Am" so I deemed it better to rename it.
I hope you enjoy it.  The above poem I have left pretty much alone.
