A/N: The person who actually wrote this was one of my best friends. She deserves all the credit for this poem! Yeah! Bravo!She want's to be an anime artist later on in her life... well, as soon as she finishes college (winks). This is in Zuko POV, its kinda OOC, but my friend's only seen Avatar twice in her life... give her a chance, please!

Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar.

Black Soul

I feel like screaming to the gods, I want to die

And all I can think of is that old rock and roll to the core of my soul

Spirits, can you hear me cry out your name?

Can you free my black soul.

Can't the thunder take me, won't somebody rescue me

Does anybody care about my innermost emotions?

Nobody cares, and nobody wants to

So they cannot free my black soul.

I'm tired of being called the serious one

So sick of being a captive under my own heart

Oh, distant thunder, hear me yell,

Can anyone free my black soul?

It's dark now, and all the land is jubilant

Humanity has succeeded, flames have gone up in victory

Yet I feel a longing for a normal life

A life without my black soul.
