Spirit That Grazes My Mind

by tkdgirl14

Zuko has gone through a lot in his life. Who's been there for him? Who encouraged him? Who gave him hope? Inner thoughts are sometimes the boldest, most soothing rhythm you embody. What lies in this boy's mind?

5. Forlorn

Note: Well this one is kind of worse than the previous ones, but I still hope you all like it. This is at the opening of Season 2. Please review!

Forlorn

Forlorn,

Alone,

We rest in silence.

Our past is now a myth,

Our future we can no longer see.

How did this happen?

I fought,

And gave all I could.

I kept going on,

I never gave up.

So how does he reject us so?

How can he hate me so much?

Faith no longer hides in my thoughts, nor does hope keep my path clear as I hold this blade in my hands. Bringing it to my head I cut away my home, I lose my birthright. But this doesn't matter. We are not traitors, we did what we could. Uncle and I take one last glance at the once bonding tie knots that embodied our home, our blood.

I gaze blankly as they float on in the soothing, cool river. Now, we will start a new life. But I will always remember one symbol of my home, Ursa, the one who gave me life. "You gave me hope, you gave me love. And now I'll give it back. I'll do what I'm destined to. I'll be who I am, and never forget it. You are my soul."

And yet, he and I are still, forlorn.
