Hey, poem #16 here. I'm writing this on 2-21-11, and I haven't had any reviews in a while, so... you should review now.

I think I'll do a rhyming poem for this one. And... how about Gale's point of view? People - including me - seem to like those. And I'm going to do line breaks again, just for this one. I don't know why. Just 'cause.


Let's run away,

Away from here,

Away from horror,

Away from tears.


We'll take our families,

We'll leave this place

We'll never again see

The Capitol's face.


For all it's worth

For all we've done

We'll run away

We'll go... we're gone,


We hate it here,

You know it's true,

Our families,

And me and you.


Don't argue now,

And please don't cry,

You knew that we'd have to

Say good-bye.


It's for the best,

Please, I ask,

What is it

To make you last


In this awful place,

Where torture starts?

This awful place

Where cruelty never parts?


Please, oh, please,

Why can't you see?

Please, leave him,

And come with me.
