Literature Text

We live in a world that gives us life,
but sometime we have to move on and pay a price.

The screams of the dead reverberate through our minds,
but we will fight until we have destroyed our enemies battle lines.

Some things hang over us forever,
promises bound that we can't find the strength to sever.

If you ever see the long awaited light,
for me, put up a fight.

Lying in the bloodied grass,
hoping this overwhelming pain will pass.

Sometimes you feel as if your losing hold,
some imporant memories are bought and sold.

We can't let go of all the pain and fear from the past,
but remember hold on it might not last.

Your life has been overcome by fear,
wait and with time it may all become clear.

One bad move that's all it takes,
but before you waste your life think of all the misery it creates.

Let the flames begin this is the end,
my freedom is one thing to you I won't lend.

Be the person I know you are,
just hold on a little longer you can't  be far.

I no longer can see the light in your eyes,
they're smothered with all the poisened lies.

All of the people we've left behind,
we will all be together once again and their love we will find.

You will always be with me,
my sister this you will see.

One more smell of a sweet and painful rose,
I know the right path is what I chose.

I am in love with the boy with the bread,
"I don't want to be just a piece in their games," is something you once said.

I am a Mockingjay hear me sing,
I strike fear into the capitol with one lift of my wing.

I am the girl who was on fire; watch me set aflame,
I am no longer just a piece in your game.
I just read the three books in the series of The Hunger Games, and they really got me thinking about life. They made me wonder if we will ever really resort to watching people die for our own amusement and the scary thing is...I wouldn't be surprised if we did.

I tried to capture all of the emotions that Katniss had hidden inside her. She is really a complex person to figure out. Notice how in the poem I always am referring to two different people. This is because she is pouring out all of her emotions to all of the living and dead she loved from just the tributes in the games to all of her closest companions.

It is also sort of like the list she always says in her head. She starts from the most simple and goes to the most complex. She must have been at the end of the list by this time. Remember,"May the odds be ever in your favor!"

*Should I have begun with:
I am in love with the boy with the bread,
"I don't want to be just a piece in their games," is something you once said, and then ended with I am no longer a piece in your games so they mirrored each other?

*Is the punctuation okay?

*I wanted this poem do be very intense and dark. Did you get those feelings?

*Should I have put:
I am the girl who was on fire; watch me start the flames,
I am no longer just a piece in your games.
Or should I just keep it the way it is?
