The Mockingjay Pin
The Sign Of The Rebellion
I'm The Girl On Fire
Devoured the whole thing;
It's for Prim that I hunt here...
But I'm still hungry.
War-torn nation, but
Nothing stops Mockingjay from
Singing rebellion
Katniss Everdeen
The Tribute From District 12
Will Change Everything!
I'm blind to the truth,
Just trying to stay alive.
Will this ever end?
Running Swiftly through
Always waiting for the End
You can't stop Me now
Back in my day, the
Only hungry games worth note
Had plastic hippos.
Can't trust anyone
No matter what happens next
I must protect Primm
Primrose Everdeen.
I volunteer as tribute.
Not in my favor.
Coal ascends to fire.
Berries promise love and death.
Then, the Mockingjay.
They can't control me.
All it takes is a handful,
of deathly berries.
Reaping was my fate
Primrose is my only prize
I fight for her sake
Fight for family
Peeta is my rock, my beau
Gale is the arrow
Katniss, Peeta, Gale
Haymich, Cinna, Prim & Rue
Careers we hate you!
I am Team Peeta
Mostly because I'm also
Team Carbohydrates.
You thought this was fun?
Oh, you silly tributes, run!
The Games have begun.
My stomach rumbles
Fear is my constant nightmare
Death, please don't claim him
Blood stains my clothing
My tears cover Rue's body
No salvation now
I'm katniss everdeen
being independent and having courage is me
rebel for peace
Two berries hail change
Flames burn bright against the Snow
Panem United
This is great! Well done!
Peeta gushes live
Memories wipe of others
Only the baker boy
Katniss, girl on fire
Peeta, the boy with the bread
Haunted, by the Games
The girl on fire.
The fierce Mockingjay.
The Protector, Katniss Everdeen.
A giving of bread
Love blossoms in the cold night
Scars, the reminder
I fight to the death
Fight for love of family
I fight to be free
