Holly Laurent - Hunger Games

Hunting in the meadow
Gale’s just this guy that I know
He’s got a girl’s name.

This district smells like rat piss
My name is Katniss
I play the Hunger Games.

I rock a bow and arrow
I hate the President Snow
He smells like a ro-ose.

They drew the name of my sis,
but don’t you f— with Katniss.
I’ll kill you fo sho.
Go play the Hunger Games.

You knew you knew when they first drew,
I’m tough and I am fine.
Panem is a place that’s fake but true.

I’ll tell you everything before we’re through.
I heard you haven’t finished book three, honey.
When you do, you’ll see that I’m a stronger girl than you.
With boys I just never had a clue;
Now I’m the girl on fire and I have, I have got two.
I don’t know what to do.

I don’t want Peeta to be dead.
A pita is a pouch of bread,
But that’s his name.
Kissing in our hidden shed
Rain dropping on our bed
Fucking Hunger Games.

Gale watches from the Seam.
Me and Peeta are a team.
Winning’s all I think of.
Watching all these tributes fall,
Teens should be at the mall.
I hope I never have to go back to play the Hunger Games.
