I Never Wanted to Be
Why couldn't the monks see
That being the Avatar wasn't for me?
I didn't believe them at first,
But when I did, I felt like I was going to burst.
When the other kids found out,
I had begun to doubt,
That no one would ever want to know about,
How I never wanted to be.
After awhile Monk Gyatso became more than a teacher to me,
But we were only friends to a certain degree.
Then one day I over heard,
Three of the monks having a word.
One of them wanted to send me away,
But Monk Gyatso told the other to let me stay.
In the end, he said nay.
I ended up running away that night,
I sat on Appa and he took flight.
While we were flying we ran into a storm,
All the time feeling like I'd never be warm.
Appa swerved and we fell into the water,
And I was awoken by someone who was apparently young enough to be my granddaughter.
As it turns out I had been trapped in an ice burg for one hundred years,
I felt my eyes begin to form tears.
Later I found out that the Fire Nation had started a war,
And the airbenders(except for me) weren't around anymore.
I soon made it my mission to put balance back in our lands,
Ironic, isn't it, to put the fate of the world in a twelve year olds hands?
And now, surely you must see,
Why I never wanted to be.
