Welcome to district 12
Living in a world
With hunger pains and starvation
When sometimes you have to trust the people that you don't even know
When I had to risk my life just to get a morsel to eat
To feed my sister and my mother
who hadn't spoken about my father in years.
And then every year
there is that dark time when nobody really knows
what is going to happen.
When kids are made to fight to the death in an arena.
Yet still we band together
Some connections stronger then others but they are always there
When I had to aim a bow at an innocence boys heart
that was still filled of life and hope.
A boy that killed my friend so the grudge was there
But there was still my guilt sense that took over when he fell to the ground
Yet i had to keep going
I promised
A promise is something your not supposed to break
And through all the sadness and heartbreak I suffered in that arena I still made it out alive
I was able to see the smiling faces of my friends
I could now live in a luxury house
But it wasn't the same
I had food and money but something was missing
The safe feeling I had before, it was gone
All so quickly my life had changed I realised there is more to living then surviving
That the more important bit was to help people who really needed it
To try and make the people that don't smile crack a grin
This was now my mission
Welcome to district 12

Limerick
Katniss Everdeen was her name
She competed in the hunger games
She won them with Peeta
Who would never have beat her
And now she is known for her fame
Haiku
A girl with a bow
She held hope for many people
A rebel now known
Ballad
A girl who came from district 12
She was very poor
Her eyes showed sadness
But she wasn't sour to the core
Her sister who meant the world to her
Who was her pride and joy
Was threatened to be taken
To fight with girls and boys
This she couldn't stand
Her sister was everything to her
She volunteered her life
And trouble she did stir
Along with her fellow tribute
She trained with the rest
Peeta was strong
But she was the best
She had to survive
She was known as the girl on fire
And if she won the games
She would live in the district 12 shire
So she ran and she fought
She made her way to the top
People started to hate her
And didn't intend to stop
Her times were looking dim
When she was shot by fire
There was no way to put it
The situation was dire
So she tried
The best she could
The get lots of sponsors
She never thought that she would
People then began
To like the way she talked
But times were looking tough
So she might of had to walk
But her mentor Haymitch
He tried and persist
His idea worked
And people no longer hissed
She soon began to realise
That she had a chance
And now that she was liked
She felt like performing a little dance
Soon she was astray
From the people that wanted her dead
But soon they would find her
And almost have her head
She ran and hid up in a tree
But still they did not stop
They stayed down and waited
Until she made a hop
Then a little girl
Whos name was rue
She gave katniss an idea
One which she had never had a clue
She chopped and she hacked
At a nest
It fell on all the careers
She didnt wish them the best
Then a few weeks later
Down by the lake
She found her fellow tribute
He wasnt in a good condition, so she fixed up his state
Finally near the end
They played a dirty trick
Releasing lots of dogs
They killed a district eleven boy, down went one tick
Then the final battle
With lots of tricks and bends
They thought they wouldn't win
That that would be the end
But the final blow
Of that district boy
They won it finally
He was just a toy
