I will beat the odds
The Capitol will falter
Let the Games begin
When I think of you
Covered in daisies, Oh Rue
Not piece in their games.
Peeta loves Katniss
He is protecting his love
He fights for Katniss
speak not with no tongue
but thine eyes tell a sad tale
the red haired avox
Burnt bread, girl on fire
Tis your love that I desire
Peeta and Katniss
The arrow is set
Your memories I cherish
The boy with the bread
Prim, Gale, my Mother
I must return home for them
Let the games begin
The boy with the bread
You love me, real or not real
It has to be real
The games will begin
There is no turning back now
Katniss fights for LIFE
To live is a must
The others will bite the dust
In my Bow I trust
My bow to the chest
Twenty three game pieces left
I will be the best
Katniss Everdeen
The Hunger Games Reigning Queen
Let The Games Begin!
I'm not here just to
Win. But to fight for lives. I'm
The Girl on Fire.
We are here to fight,
For what is right in Panem,
For Peeta, Finnick, and Prim
A mockingjay sings
a song of sadness and strife
A little girl dies
I kill to survive
I let my arrows fly
One shot you will die
We look for freedom
But we are trapped in their Games
Where are our heroes?
Not playing for fun,
The Capital must be warn.
Never play with fire!
Hunger Games tributes
The blood splatters as they fight
Not me, not tonight
A girl is on fire
The smell of blood and roses
Floating in the air
Red snowflakes pierce hope.
My Primrose yellow. In fear.
Take my breath instead.
Happy Hunger Games
Hope you win for your district
And make us all proud
** i made a mistake earlier so im going to write it again
The eyes of the crowd
Bloodlusted howls of laughter
It pierces her soul
Love is protection
The bread baker son peeta
With you im complete
Brother. Lover. Child.
Have you ever killed before?
5. 4. 3. 2. 1.
