Adagio: A Collection of Poems by Katara

by callmecalli

When Zuko became part of the Gaang, all Katara could do was wait for the other shoe to drop. Her way of processing the emotions that came with the addition of the firebender to their group was to write them down in the form of poems instead of expressing them to Zuko himself. *HUGELY inspired by a poem book called The Princess Saves Herself in This One by Amanda Lovelace*

Something has changed

in the air

or the atmosphere

---

everything feels heavier

when I look at You

like I can't breathe

---

everything feels lighter

when You look at Me

like I don't need bending to fly

---

everything feels easier

when I look at Aang

like I finally know where the boundaries lay

---

everything feels harder

when Aang looks at Me

like he definitely doesn't

---

Something has changed

in the air

or the atmosphere

or maybe inside Me
