Who am I?
Who is Michael?
Who is Raider3?
I am... A command-line interpreter....
I am... A chameleon....
I am... A blank slate....
I am... A "Black Jack-of-all-trades"...
I am... A residual self-image....
I am... A ghost in the shadows of the past....
I am... Always trying to make my way out of the shadows and into the light....
I am... Lonely....
I am... Still trying to find what I need to complete me....
I am... Still trying to find out who and what I want to be....
I am... Still trying to learn how to love myself....
I am... Still trying to discover the real me within myself....
I am... Trying to reassure myself that I am not "broken" or merely "functional"....
I am... At times often unaware of friends and family who do care for me....
I am... At times distratcted by what the many think of me, rather than the few who care about me....
Who am I?....
Who am I, really?....
Why am I afraid of being myself?
Am I that afraid of rejection?
Am I ashamed?
Who am I?....
(It looks like this writing is a spiritual successor to "I... (The Beast That Shouted "I" At The Heart Of The World)" that I wrote over a decade back...)

80 days left until the end of our contract... No answers as of yet.
Note the equipment owned by the company that manages the office park where my job is. It's been said they've entered into bankruptcy as well. I guess this truly is the "Valley Of The Poor", it seems...
The next items aren't quite so melancholy, but they have a bit to do with endings and beginnings...
