Nameless.
That's how I died.
It came as no surprise to most.
Of course it did.
After the pain, there was only quiet.
Hush, hush,
Go to sleep now.
The cannon fired.
The first minute of the games,
And I was on the ground
Thinking about home and family,
The little sister I would never get to hug again,
The first kiss I'd never get to have
And the friends I'd never be able to smile at.
And now, as my head is surrounded
By a crown of blood,
I want to apologize
To my mentor, for wasting her time on me.
For believing in me
And then watching me die.
And my parents.
I'm sorry I volunteered.
I didn't have a choice.
If I didn't, there could be a 12 year old lying here
Instead of me.
And my best friend;
Faye, I never got to tell you
How much you mean to me.
And now I can't,
Because I'm going to die here.
I'm getting cold
As I watch the Girl on Fire
Run away with the pack,
Her face splattered with my blood.
Maybe it's best she got it.
Better her than the girl who stabbed me.
I think I'm ready.
Hush, hush.
I'm ready to go.
