Haymitch Abernathy

And his Drunken Self


My drunken bones have seen too much

I see too many deaths alike in such


They are oblivious to what lies ahead

And they hold on to what's left, a thread


My goal is to keep them alive

But they do not strive


They know they're fates await

They'll be captured like fresh bait


I try to help them, but they don't care to try

I see their brothers and sisters all alike start to cry


I drink because the pain eases away


I drink because no one cares


I drink because I wish to die
