Who will leave unscathed?
Through night and day we wait, for
These games will decide
Benieth the Earth I
consider the Mockingjay.
Strong yet terrified.
Twelve Districts, one lives
Fight for you, or fight for all
Only they decide
Ready to kill you,
He drops the knife for love.
Rules change, not Peeta.
We sang together,
Weapons laid low and apart,
On our mislead fight.
I'll fight till the end,
I'll bring the Capitol Down,
I'm the Mockingjay!
Twenty four will play
Hunger rumbles from within
Only one can win
Peeta,the boy with bread
saved my life so long ago,
Now I must kill him
Left her lullaby
Gone, but never forgotten
Rue is forever <3
Fly free, through the trees
Here it's safe, and here it's warm
Here forever, Rue
Lighting yourself up,
Makes you look more beautiful,
Then ever. Love Peeta.
I can’t choose between
The best friend or the lover
Because: they’re both mine
In the dank cave
My true feelings poured forth
But she played me.
Oppression tamer
Igniter of rebellions
The girl on fire.
Giving me life
With your true act of kindness
Restored my faith.
Please ignore the above.
Giver of life
With your true acts of kindness
Restoring my faith.
The hunger games books
What the f*ck I thought it would
Be about ice cream
It's the capitol.
They can stop her heart these days.
The burn always stays.
The beauty of life.
Gets tested by the cruel games.
I'm just a player.
Left her lullaby
Gone, but never forgotten.
Here forever, Rue <3
It's the Hunger Games.
Only one can win it all.
I just broke the rules.
Lay down your head, Rue.
Listen as I sing to you.
Here, where I love you. <333
Her name is chosen,
No thinking; I volunteer,
I must win....for Prim.
Twenty- four of us
only one can win this fight
meet the Mockingjay
We've been through so much
Together we will battle
To get home to Twelve
The memories come
All I love Rue, Peeta, Prim
I must fight for them
The Games are Evil
But I must win for Primrose
Game's Winner: Katniss
