A/N: Hey! Well this is my first fanfic! It's actually a poem, specifically a sestina. I had to choose six words and repeat them throughout the poem.

But back to the original point! This poem is about Zuko and his stuggle with his honor from banishment till the end of the series. I hope you enjoy. Please review!

Speaking out of turn, a boy

Finds pain in the loss of his honor

Condemned by his father to the fire

Forever leaving a scar

To remind him that he'll live alone

Away from home forever banished.

Soon he sails away a banished

Prince, his uncle accompanies the boy

As a reminder that he'll never be alone

Inside his soul, his damaged honor

A reminder in the form of a scar

A reminder of the pain of the fire

A boiling hatred as hot as fire

Stirs and builds the longer he's banished

Soon the sight of the scar

Becomes unbearable for the still young boy

The need to redeem his honor

Grows, still inside he feels so alone

Soon every moment he feels alone

He uses the very destructive fire

His father used, to take his honor

The same flames in which he was banished

Soon that very young boy

Becomes a young man of flame and scar

But still that very old scar

Holds his very heart while he's alone

As that once young boy

Wields the flames of his inner fire

In desperation from being banished

An in an attempt to restore his honor

And in the search for his honor

With his companion, his scar

The heavy burden of being banished

He still finds he isn't quite so alone

Even within the fire

He was able to let go of that young boy

Against that struggle of fire and honor

Against the reminder he was banished, alone

He fights to become a man instead of a boy with a scar.
