Finn of District 4-
Classification: hottie,
More 'neath the surface.
Berries in each hand
Together we do stand
Causing a wild-fire
After my tributes
You will rue the day I’m free
From your hanging tree
Settlin' down in nine.
Waitin' for the next cruel trick.
Wantin' days before.
the night has fallen
fragrant flowers wreath your hair
sweet birds sing you home
whistle of freedom
girl on fire ignites the war
it all changes here
Cinna you can light
Me on fire anytime
Let’s burn Cato next
By another's blade
I may perish in their games
But not as their pawn
Listen, Mockingjay
A whistle from a sky bird
Calls the tribute home.
Prim! Steadfast and fair
Martyred, caring for the maimed
Fly free Mockingjay
A heart divided
Taken from my home to fight
Will I end up dead?
Live to die inside
Or let another kill for life
The choice of the Games
People I love die
All the people I trust lie
Death brings out the truth
One last lullaby
Tears and flowers in her hair
Three fingers, a kiss
Partner - first love too,
but Baker, he worships true.
Team Gale or Peeta?
Until you see the
Truth, you remain enslaved by
your own Ignorance.
Can't think of kissing
Have to start an uprising
But yet...I still do
A city turned to cinders
The mockingjay mourns the dead
Hunt or be hunted
I didn't want to
Love this series so much but
I couldn't help it
The real hunger
Won't be sated; the odds are
Not in your favor
world aflame with Fire
the Revolution ignites
but will the Snow fall?
Run for your life now
It's the cornucopia
Take more than what's yours
I love my sister
We're just like Prim and Katniss
Let me win for her
Silver parachutes;
My kisses bring survival
But is there love here?
Please let me win. Its a once in a lifetime opportunity and it would be a great birthday present. I am soooo obsessed with The Hunger Games series.
katniss and peeta
they are surely meant to be
odds in their favor
