Comments
When will she notice?
to her our touch says nothing
to me it means much
District Twelve tribute
Beats the moody girl from Forks
I say Team Katniss
my mockingjay pin
reminds me of madge and home
where my precious prim is
No, Prim's name is called!
I must volunteer right now
I must win, but how?
The crowd Is anxious,
The names are drawn,
the crys of catnis,
Are carried along,
To battle they go,
PETA and Cato,
Love is found,
The losers are down!
Kids are killing kids
this is like Battle Royale
Wait for DVD
They'll try to change me
Stain my hands with others' blood
But they won't own me.
He's drunk as a skunk
Never without a bottle
Haymitch, my one hope
The one thing in life
I know for sure that I love
Is my sister Prim
Miss Suzanne Collins
Imagining this new world
She's a real genius!
Our so-called mentor
Has prepared me for nothing
I'm filled with disgust
Cinna's expertise
Transforms me, The Girl on Fire
My stylist and friend
Tiny little Rue
District eleven is proud
Covered in flowers
We have some sponsors
All they want is a good show
Can I really win?
Hands covered with blood
we lift the fruit,the poison
turned in our favor.
Death for sport in a
world apart. Kids sacrificed
for Capitol gains.
Oh how I loved Gale
Until Miley's man they doth
Cast. Quel distraction.
The boy with the bread
Saved her from a bitter end
Debt repaid in Games
Simpering Bella
And girls with tattoos made me
Hunger for Katniss
You're the boy with bread.
And I am the girl on fire,
So do we make toast?
Did I hear him wrong?
Because she came here with me.
How can I kill him?
Arrow to the head
I'm hungry so you are dead
Peeta bake me bread!
Blood rain is falling
Tracking Bees put us to death
Welcome to the Games
Another way is:
Red rain is falling
Tracker Bees put us to death
Welcome to the Games
The end is now here
I have loved you from the start
You and I, One heart....
They crave for our blood
and watch us suffer and grieve
We were born to die.
