Letter from Zuko

[Rogue-Angel]

Not really sure if this counts as a fanfic, but it seemed closest to it... Anyway, I thought of this when I was riding the bus home.
____________________________________________________

I was wrong to speak.
I was young, didn't know.
I was inexperienced.
And look at me now.

But was it really that wrong?
Was it all that bad?
Was it worth fighting over?
Dying even? Dad?

I know now, I was wrong.
I shouldn't even have come.
A harsh lesson I have learnt.
Now I don't even have a home.

But am I therefore a failure?
Was it all that bad?
Would you really risk hurting me?
Dying even? Dad?

Now even my sister wants to kill me.
And she's always had it all.
Nowhere am I safe now.
Left homeless, clueless, with nothing at all.

But what if she turns out a failure?
Will she then too be bad?
Would you risk hurting her too?
Dying even, dad?

Because I've made my plans to get it.
To finally get what is mine.
Now everyone will pay for what they did to me.
The Avatar will bow in the sunshine.

Because I'm coming to get you too dad.
Yes, it'll be that bad.
You will see your empire burning.
Dying even, dad...

Thnx

This is my favorite Zuko poem ever! and I've read a lot!

[Rogue-Angel]

I am truly flattered. Thnx a lot

[Ilise]

Hee, I like how you totally twisted around the meaning of 'dying even... dad' at the ending. Some of the rhyming was a little off, but I think that's how Zuzu woulda wrote it! Great job on this one!

[Rogue-Angel]

I know, it's a little off here and there, but remember I wrote it as it came to me. On a bus, no less

And thnx

Nice poem or whatever it was. When it comes to that sort of thing. I really have no clue, but this is great. You captured Zuko's emotions very well.

[Sokkaroksya]

Very Zuko-like...awesome.

I'd love to see a poem like this for Iroh!

I'll see what I can do, although if I want to capture him as a whole it'll be a LONG poem...
