Thanks to all who have submitted quotes! Here's the one that is the basis to this poem: "You know, you could live a thousand lifetimes and not deserve him." It's in Katniss's POV, thinking this to herself. Free-verse.
He is so much
Better than you, so
No matter how hard and
No matter how long
You try to be
Better,
Worthy of him,
You will
Never reach it.
Live a thousand lives,
Die for him a thousand times,
Say you love him a thousand times,
Mean it too, a thouand times,
No matter what you do,
No matter what you accomplish,
No matter how you live,
You won't ever,
Not ever
Deserve him.
You could live a thousand lifetimes,
You could do a thousand great things,
He might say you deserve him,
He might say he's the one
Who doesn't deserve you,
But no matter how hard
Or long
You try,
No matter what you do,
He's only saying it
To comfort you,
And none of it really
Will ever be true.
He'll say it is so,
He'll say it is true,
He'll say you're the better one,
He'll say you are pure,
But, you know the truth,
You know,
You could live
A thousand lifetimes
And not
Deserve
Him.
