The Capitol reigns
Twelve must fight for survival
We shall all rise strong
*correction
(no idea why I was thinking twelve)
The Capitol Reigns
We All Fight For Survival
We Shall All Rise Strong
My life is one arrow
Red apple screams target
I am the girl on fire
Me too! **CORRECTION**
My life one arrow
Red apple screaming target
The girl on fire
Know that he's watching
put on the show, kiss him-now
make them believe it
i fight for my life
they named me the Mockingjay
the revolution
Fighting for Family
Rebelling for the nation
it all ends with Snow
So Peeta or Gale?
oh come on Katniss, why not
take them both, you prude
Book three was not good
We deserved our nirvana
Peeta and Katniss
All eyes are on us
Now we fight for survival
And for our District
Fate unknown, I fight.
Glimpse my future. Sister. Gale.
All’s lost if I fail.
District’s sacrifice
With burning fire in my heart
And arrow in flight
Tick tock, it’s a clock
Roses and blood, real or not?
Now, Panem will be watching.
GAH messed it up!!!
Tick tock, it's a clock
Roses and blood, real or not?
Rise, Panem, and watch
At the Reaping she
volunteers for her sister
and changes the world
Win the games is Gale
Panem freedom is Peeta
An archer peers deep
If I knew back then
Would I still take the gift from
The boy with the bread
I have a purpose
My arrows at the ready
Pride of District 12
I'm chosen to die
but am determined to live.
Will right triumph might?
Capitol Beware
All of Panem watches me
Girl on Fire
Adolescence end
The mocking jay soon will rise
Now forced to take flight
Katniss draws her bow
Shoots arrow through the black heart
of the Capitol
Cries the Mockingjay
Roses mask the scent of blood
The final reaping
I hoped, prayed, believed
Courageous, the promise-you kept
We lived, laughed, love.
haha! I messed up as well. PLEASE CONSIDER ME STILL.
I hoped, prayed, believed
Courageous, the promise-kept
We lived, laughed, and love.
The Mockingjay rose
She redeemed the capitol
Now all are with peace
Peeta? Gale? Peeta?
I'm Katniss, not Bella Swan.
Ok, fine, Peeta.
Freedom in Panem
The lofty goal smothers me
"Stay alive," he said.
The Girl On Fire
Her arrows for survival
Mockingjay will rise.
Hungry Capital
waits with bated breath. Expects
bread and circuses.
