Poetry isn't really my deal. At all. But I had a school assignment...

Portia really interests me, namely because there is really nothing known about her. All we really know is that she was executed. So enough with my rambling and onto really crappy free verse.


Flames


I stand on the stage

In front of all to see

The center of attention

The place I don't want to be

~o~

I wish there was more

But I don't have another chance

I lived my dream

And that's all I have

~o~

Through it all

I had only one thought

End what I had started

No turning back

~o~

We knew what we were getting into

Those fiery designs

We worked on them anyway

Knowing all too well the risk

~o~

Was it worth it?

Maybe not to some

To me it was

But what is done is done

~o~

The Mockingjay has been set free

Her wings soar

Inspiring all who believe

All I did was help start the flame

~o~

Light the world on fire

Set it to flames

Burn the tyrants

Free the brave

~o~

I stand center stage

My arms bound

My eyes covered

I hear the speech

~o~

Treason, Conspiracy

Rebellion

But there is another whisper

Hope

~o~

No trial is performed

The Capitol could care less

What's done is done

I dreamed, I designed

~o~

The solid click

Guns cocked and ready

Last prayers, last breaths

The shot is fired

~o~

The Mockingjay has been set free

Her wings soar

Inspiring all who believe

All I did was help start the flame

Light the world on fire

Set it to flames

Burn the tyrants

Free the brave
