YAY! My first THG fic! Freeverse. Because that Seneca Crane oneshot was not working. BUT I WILL MAKE IT WORK. *cracks whip* OH, just noticed that I have a freeverse called YOU, and now one called NOT YOU. I find that sort of FUNNYPANTS.

Perhaps you ought to review. *creepy stare*


not you


pleasedon't let it be you

not you

not you

and that annoying voice

at the back of your head

is telling you that yeah, the odds are unlikely

but there are still odds

and you snap back at it

because it's not helping

but finally she picks out the name

and it's not you

not you

not you

it's him, him, him

the brother

and after the display that was just put on

you wonder if you should volunteer too

but no, you weren't chosen

yeah, he's your brother

but so what?

you have a right to live too

just because he's the perfect one

the golden boy

doesn't mean you don't have anything worth living for as well

but still,

he's your brother

maybe you should

no, you shouldn't

you're stronger than him, you could do it

but no, it's Katniss Everdeen

there's no way

but it's going to kill him to kill her

so maybe you should

but you don't want to

but you feel compelled to

and he's your brother

you gave your teddy bear to him

so you should give your life to him, too

right?

and your mouth is opening

you're about to sign your life away

but the time has passed

and really,

you feel relieved.
