Katara had just some back from another waterbending lesson and having to listen to hear the older residents, most that were originally from the southern tribe, telling her she looked like Kari. Kari was her mother but she hated people saying that .Not because she didn't like the compliment, but it made her think about her mother more then she usually did. She was only planning to get her bag, and hang out with Aang and Sokka, but she started to think about it.

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

She started to think back to the time right after Kari's death. How she felt and how others treated her and her brother.

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

Then she heard someone's voice in her head, it was Kari, her mother's voice.

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years

She replied as some people would. She thought that remembering her mother had brought her nothing but pain.

But you still have...

All of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

She heard her mother's voice again, trying to reassure her.

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years

Katara fought against the voice with all her might, knowing in her heart, she was losing.

But you still have all of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

Kari's voice came then stronger then ever. It brought Katara to her knees sobbing rather pathetically. She didn't want to see her look and feel so helpless. That's why she wanted to learn waterbending so badly. That's why she wanted to learn to fight. So she would never feel that way again.

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years

But you still have ...

all of me

Katara stood up when she heard someone out side calling for her. It was Aang.

"Katara! Katara! Are you alright? You've been in there a while." The girl wiped away her tears and tried to shake away the heaviness in her heart. "I'm coming!" Katara was going to put on her necklace, but at the last minute put it away.

"When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears

And I've held your hand through all of these years

But you still have all of me" She sang softly, knowing that she could move on.
