Games,hunger, and death...
What more can they do to me?
nothing.. They are gone.
In the cave’s darkness
I hide my conflicted heart
Is he friend or foe?
My baker boyfriend
Competed in Hunger Games
Ironic I think
one against the world
the mockingjay will arise
she fights to save us all
Peeta is in love
But bread will burn in the fire
Katniss traps the heat
Spheres of fire, lines
cut in the palms of children
by cups cheering death.
That's really good
place that gave me life
sweet land in the deep blue sea
dwells my heart, always
- Pitcairn, always

Games are a foot
Move Fast, Watch Back
Mockingjays Attack
Hunger but mainly death games
Hope and love do not exist
the games have begun
more than a color,
Primrose, more than a flower,
She is my sister.
The world is watching
Anticipation grows here
Who will win tickets?
Sorry! I'm just anxious to hear what the results are...
Hunger Games are here
The whole world will be watching
Who'll be the victor?
The boy with the bread
Made me a burnt offering
But can I accept?
Creased in my mom's face
I see what will happen to
24 boys and girls
When will the winner be announced? 🙂
The Hunger Games have began.
The world is watching with anticipation.
The blood bath begins with 24.
But only 1 will remain.
Can I trust him?
Does he love me?
Will he kill me?
The 24th annual hunger games have begun.
Down with the Peeta
He is the worst of them all
The boy with the bread
