You know how you know when you're writing too much, too fast? Or... something? You only get one review. xP Corny jokes behind us, this reply to review things is awesome! xD For those that don't know (right now anyways): check the homepage, and it tells us fun peopls about it.
-is going to use it-
Hehehe...
So, since I don't need space for review responses... I don't know. Nothing catastrophic. However, it does mean that I don't have to feel pressured to write because of reviews! x3 I could respond before updating. Bwahahaha!
-coughs-
Anyways, this poem is actually in first person. Odd really... I usually avoid first person... at all costs! But, I think I'm starting to warm up to it a little. Anyways, this poem is (you geussed it!) about Zuko! -can't spell- No one dies this time! xP This poem seems to reflect the subtle (-coughs again-) idea of mine that he'll stop being so gosh-darn stubborn (even though we love that about him! xD) and realize his father is a... complete and utter jerk! XD And that he'll never accept him and all that jazz...
Sooo...Now itsdisclaimer time!
Still don't own Avatar. Don't have enough money to anyways. Besides, if I did own Avatar, the season finale won't be as kick-ass as I know it's going to be!
Now, here's the poem you all came for!

The Smoke

What is this thought,
that eludes me so?
Am I not meant to understand?
To reject all attempts at friendship?
Maybe... maybe I am.
But, somehow, that doesn't seem right.

My life has been thrown into chaos,
and still you stand by my side.
You train me,
no matter how many times I lose it.
I am truly greatful.
For your life, and for your love.

Because of me you run on pure adrenaline.
Rest you rarely see.
I'm sorry. Really, I am!
Given a hundred years,
you couldn't begin to understand.
Had the timing been different, maybe it could've happened.

Your reign will rule my own.
Shadows I can never shake.
I have waited long enough,
with nothing left to say.
You cast my life aside,
and now my service is no longer for you.

I think no one is meant to understand,
so I will not push the matter farther.
The smoke that is my life blinds me.
It affects my very judgement,
for what I'm about to do.
I say goodbye to all I knew.

Now I stand before you, Avatar,
my mistakes learned from and left behind.
I will help you slay my father.
I will help you win the fight!
