Description Alone you find yourself just hanging, and to fill the hole you cling to all that seems, to hide the little girl that crying, underneath the rage that you let others see.

‘Cause you’re dancing dirt into the snow
while others look at you on show.
You’re dancing dirt into the snow
while all around you people grow
And watch you bleed.
And watch you bleed.

So now you look at me, eyes wooden.
An anchor through your head; crimson for disguise.
An opal for a wound you carry, heavy lights of pleading someone look at me.

‘Cause you’re dancing dirt into the snow
while others look at you on show.
You’re dancing dirt into the snow
while all around you people grow
And watch you bleed.
And watch you bleed.

The more you push through broken glass, the thicker it becomes.
And the more you turn on broken worlds, the sooner you will need.
The more you push through broken glass, the thicker it becomes.
And the more you turn on broken worlds, the sooner you will need…
A gun.

‘Cause you’re dancing dirt into the snow
while others look at you on show.
You’re dancing dirt into the snow
while all around you people grow.

Well, I finally hauled my ass over to photoshop and finished this thing.
Another song art, I know, but I just can't stop the music! XD

This one is "Dancing Dirt Into The Snow" by Missy Higgins.
When I heard it, I thought of all the hard times the girls had to go through, and BAM, a picture appeared.

Both Toph and Katara's bending put them through pain. They love their bending so much, but were practically forbidden to use it- Toph by her overly protective parents, and Katara by her sister tribe's whole SOCIETY.
Once they we're found out, worries were brought to Toph's family and shame and dishonor to Katara and her teacher.
Both were dancing dirt into clean, white snow.

Even Azula must have gone through at least SOME hardships with her bending. We saw that her lighting bending is only ALMOST perfect (one hair out of place. Which probably doesn't count as much as I say it does. ). I imagine she went through something similar, even if the story was different.
She is a princess, whose mother favored her older, less talented brother. Her father has very high expectations for her, which she sometimes struggles with. Even up on her little pedestal she is being carefully watched for slip ups. I think somewhere inside her is a turmoil, but not NEARLY as large as the one Zuko had. I'm not saying she'll suddenly swing around and start helping Aang make fruit pies, but something's there. Even if it IS buried way, way, WAY deep down.

Enough of my rantings, enjoy the pic.

P.S. Toph's tears are (forgive me for saying so) retarded. I was rushing.

Thanks. I find that looking for a characters painful, somewhat crazy side is just as good as therapy.
Example: sure you failed the test, but at least your father didn't burn half your face off. Don't be such a wuss, you baby. *smack*
