Note: this will be my first hunger games fanfic so please read and review. Also this is a one-shot.

Smarter than you think

People say dying for a cause is noble. I guess my death is noble then, not just a stupid mistake caused by my ignorance. I killed myself to ensure my family's safety. Don't judge my judgment I'm smart enough to know what those berries are! They are more than wonderful, filling my mouth with a unique taste, to sweet not to ensure ones death. Nightlock! I knew I would be dead before they reached my stomach….well I knew I would be dead when my name was pulled out of the glass bowl. Only 5 slips out of thousands. Luck is never on my side. But I will see my daddy now. He wouldn't be gone if it wasn't for the capitol. I know my mom and two year old sister will be free from the horrors of district five. My sister will never be reaped, and Mother will never have to go without food. I'm also smart enough to know the girl on fire and her lover boy will be the spark to start the rebellion. I guess they're not smart enough to know that yet. In the end I shall be compared to Socrates. Forced to eat poison berries by the government, we being both too smart for our own good.
