I was quite impressed with the Episode "The Storm." In eight minutes, the showhad mebawling. Zuko is my favorite character and I was inspired to write a series of poems based on the point of views of the various people involved in the incident that transformed him from a sheltered young prince to a proud renegade. I wanted to explore the way he feels about his distant father, how he fears him and craves his love, only to be...well, rejected to say the least. Reviews are begged and treasured.
Agony's Cry
Father, why can't you see me?
Do you hear me calling out to you?
Why won't you hold my hand
Comfort me, like you used to
When I used to fall, you'd catch me
We'd laugh and you'd pat my head
Dad, I stand before you trembling
Let me take back the things I've said
Just clean the slate, and walk away
Call me your child, your son
Forgive me again all my trespasses
Forget the things I've done
I'm on my knees before you
Just one word's all I crave
Accept me once again
And I'll be your humble slave
I need you, I need your love
Your guiding hand in mine
I'll repent my headstrong ways
And walk the narrow line
Remake me as you wish
And order me to change
I can't recognize you Father
Your anger makes you strange
Just raise me up Father
And chase away my fears
I'm so terrified now Father,
HELP! IT BURNS, IT SEARS!
