A burning desire from deep within
A scar to prove a committed sin
A lost soul searching for its place
A tainted memory upon his face

Ruined in youth, scarred for life
Days consumed in an endless strife
Rage adding fuel to a waning flame
Explosion of a wildfire untame

Fiery passions set ablaze
Sunset eyes with a sorrowful gaze
Against the fire, fighting the heat
Failure in life, afraid of defeat

Sent away to grow up on his own
Enduring, suffering, standing alone
Foe of the world, friend to none
Living in hell 'til this war is done

The lurid details of his past
Haunting, daunting; the pain still lasts
His fervor burning with a faithful gleam
Unwavering eyes reflecting a dream

Hanging on at the end of his rope
Clinging to a thread of hope
A struggle between wrong and right
"Never give up without a fight."
So, I was on this weird creative high one morning, and I have about a forty-minute bus ride to school, so I decided to write a poem. I completed it in homeroom. In all, it took about two hours to write. It's the best piece I've come up with in a while, so I decided to post it.

And just as an "FYI" thing, it's a dedication to Prince Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender.

This is awesome! Though, I'd wish that you'd continue the wildfire series. Also called it on who it was about!~ The last line confirmed my suspicions.
