I had to write this to get it out of my system. Flame away, this story is about fire after all.

Spoilers for Mockingjay.

I'm not the girl on fire, not really.

I said I wasn't afraid of fire but

That was before...

The fire that was on my dress

that wasn't going to hurt

me or anyone else.

But real fire hurts.

It tore away my little duck.

Before I could save her.

Fire turned me into

the Mockingjay

but also fire turn

the Mockingjay

into a reck.

Because I lived

and she didn't.

I saved her

from the games.

But she died anyway.

Maybe some people

just can't grow up.

Maybe some

will never get that chance.

I did

but she didn't.

It should have been me there.

Not her,

never her.

No I'm not the girl on fire.

Because the real girl on fire.

Burnt.
