Azulas POV

Gotta find your inner strength

If you cant then just throw life away

Gotta learn to rely on you

One thing I learned in life when I was younger is that you have to be the best of the best. I remember I was three and father and mother always used to be with and praise Zuko, who was seven at the time. He had just started to firebend and got all the attention from everybody. While I was left in a coner forgotten, looking at the flame of the candle in front of me. It taught me saying that I will never be praise by anyone, excepted among people, or loved. And that got me so mad that right then and there I made a vow that I will be the best firebender on earth.

Beauty, strength, and wisdom, too

Youre beautiful inside and out

Lead a great life without a doubt

Since that moment of time my mind was set on having someone be there by my side, weither if it was my parents or a lover. So I pratice the basics eveyday with breathing, squating, and conisitrating on making a flame come out of my hand. Until the day my brother was to show his bending to grandfather. He was excited to know that another one of his grandchildren was a firebender, so he had the servents and generals that were there for the council meeting later there to watch. They cooed my brother compliments, which stop when I got up and said that I wanting to show him my bending. My father tried to stop me, thinking that I would be a embrassment to him. But I didnt listen I was sent on my goal to be loved too, so I started to firebend. At first it was only simple blasts, then to full grown flames. I started to do ticks and moves that no one has ever thought a three year old could do. When I stoped my grandfather was so pleased that he rushed over to me, picked me up and spined me around shouting "Your just like me! Your a true prodigy just like me!" The next two people to come up to me was cousin Lu Ten and uncle Iroh saying how I will some day be a strong, wise, and beautiful women and gave a wonderful life with out a doubt.

Dont need a man to make things fair

'Cuz more than likely he wont be there

Listen girl, gotta know its true

In the end all youve got is you

But that was before and this is now. I am alone. No man here wants me, Im a monster just like my mother said to me long ago. "Azula you are a monster!" That sentice my mother shouted at me for years until she disappeared and still plays in my mind. My mother was so cruel to me, no matter what I do she hated me for stealing Zukos spotlight all those years ago. She wanted me to be alone, she wanted me to live a horrible life, she wanted me not to find love, she hates me and I hate her. I can tell that everyone around me is afried of me, I never knew until the party my friends, my brother, and me went to at the beach. Those boys thought I was ungly along with being deadly. So why do I still live if Im so unhappy? Because a boy saved me from being drowned. A rebel saved my live and kissed my lips, bringing hope back in my life. People say in the end all you got is you, but thats not true. I have someone who watches over me and his name is Jet. Everyone always has someone by their side.
