Instant my arrow flies.
Its anchor a boy, who dies.
His spear closed your eyes.
A fight to the death
That all of Panem will watch
I must not show fear
The Mocking-jay pin
A symbol of resistance
Katniss with her bow
Let the Games begin!
The Mockingjay is rising
Mounting wings of flame
I never knew that
A single slip of paper
Could set worlds aflame
Deep in their Meadow,
Here where cruelty rules us, Rue
Here is the place where-
Called upon they were
Pure wit is never enough
Twenty three will die
Cold rain pours, blinding
Catch a small glimpse of burnt bread
Warm food fills, saving
I'm a mental fool,
Gale, he thinks so too. But I'm
in love with Peeta!
The boy with the bread
The girl who was on fire
The star crossed lovers
My choices are gone
Violence is the only way
To make it back home
Show them everything
Here's some advice, stay alive
Make them remember
As I sing, birds cease,
Lost to the effect I have,
Boy with bread was right.
As I look around,
I remember darker times,
When I fought to live.
This sad burning life,
Only cleansed by your sweet words,
Real or not real? Real.
No sugar in my tea
And by your side I'll always be
This arena won't change me
I volunteered Prim
I went through this pain for you
Won the games for you......
Primrose Everdeen
An amazing young woman
May you rest in peace
The gore, the pain, loss..
Remember the enemy..
One goal, I KILL SNOW..
I'm not dead, should be.
odds are not in my favor.
Must not lose all hope.
Four notes on the wind--
I must whistle for you now.
Hear our song, Panem?
The girl on fire shines,
Boy with the bread at her side,
Will be remembered
Katniss Everdeen
In love with a baker's son
Gale is a "butt-face."
Peeta and Gale who?
They just can't compare to the
Hotness of Haymitch.
Haymitch drinks a lot
he's a pretty funny guy
who drinks THAT much booze?
