I want to go home,
To go see my sister Prim,
I miss her so much!
He gave me burnt bread,
He saved me from starvation,
And he has nice buns.
My hair braided back,
My mocking jay pin is on
My arrow in my bow
The symbol was hers.
How could you just leave her out?
Never forget: Madge.
reaping day is here
i need another drink now
give me my liquor
They changed the ruling
Peeta and I can't survive
That leaves suicide
Fire is catching
I will be your Mockingjay
Join the fight for hope
Snap of bowstrings plus
Love baked into bread for all
Burns roses to coals
I know that it's true
there are much worse games to play
like monopoly
The innocent fight
Excitement builds up inside
A fight to the death
Keep safe, sister Prim.
Odds are not in my favor
As I volunteer.
Gale, watch over them
I way not return home safe
Please don't let them starve
Gale was just fire
Peeta is my dandelion
My love for him. Real.
Peeta Katniss Live
Revolution Is Aflame
The Capitol's Fear
If we both can't win
There is only one option
Nightlock, Nightlock, Night...
Listen to me sing
I am the girl on fire
Hear the mockingjay
From the starving one
Radiant, now, Girl on Fire
Fly, my Mockingjay
I try to sleep
Peeta is here beside me
He whispers "Always"
Gale Hawthorne snares me
Finnick Odair brings sexy back
Peeta takes the cake
I'm so hungry
Must eat lamb stew with dried plums
And hot chocolate
whoops, screwed that one up.
I'm so damn hungry
Must eat lamb stew with dried plums
Hot chocolate after
Live life hungrily
Presidents take it away
With a flaming death
Katniss Everdeen
Girl on fire hold on to life
The Games can break you
I love this one.
I live in Panem
Despite the Games and armies
Born a Mockingjay
I like this one better, ignore my other one
So love won the day!
Still, heart-broken over Rue--
and my sister too.
my love for peeta
a show they won't soon forget
to survive the games
Twenty four tributes,
Are the odds in my favor?
Only one shall live.
