The Hunger Games- Gale Hawthorne

He looks into the mirror

All he sees is a

Reflection of self-hate, revulsion and remorse

He doesn't recognise the person-

no, not even a person but a thing-

staring back at him

Cold-blooded murderer

The day the bombs went off in the Capitol

Deaths, bloodshed, everything gone

His future with her

His life

His hopes

Gone,

gone,

gone.

He wishes he could turn back time

to take it all back

but he can't

he can never take it back

permanent and forever haunting his mind

He can't face anyone

can't talk to anyone

He is less than human
