Scales as hot as flames,
An attitude as fickle as the wind.
A past riddled with errors,
A future filled with mistakes.
Claws that can burn like a red-hot poker,
Only able to be stopped by the Sea.
A laugh as crooked as her childhood,
Only to be topped by her adopter.
Given rocks by the devil,
As black as the devil's own soul.
She was told lie after lie,
Her reality shaped into an alternative universe
Friendships harder to make than eating fish raw,
Relationships harder to keep than holding back the tide.
The red scales glowing like the sun,
Beautiful on the outside, but crooked on the inside.
A Peril to some,
A danger to all.
Despite the pain she gives,
It was all from the pain she received.
And all can endure the pain to forgive.
