I am so so so so sorry. It's been like 3 months since I last updated, I know. The thing is, I got caught up in my other stories, got busy with life, and forgot about this. But...I finally got around to getting the next poem up. Enjoy!
Headed for the Capitol, the train rushes onward
I whisper I'm scared, but know no one heard
I have to win, return to my family and Gale
But still I wonder, into darkness will I sail?
Peeta sits nearby, quietly watching me
I wonder in me, what could he see?
I slip to my room, wishing for the peace and darkness
I'm scared and frightened, but to that I will never fess
I slowly rub my gold mockingjay pin
Still always wondering if I can win
Effie calls me to dinner, and I quickly get changed
All those colorful clothes, from black to pink they ranged
The food is fancy, rich and fine
With Effie, Haymitch and Peeta I dine
Haymitch is drunk, but that's his usual state
We must make him somber, for he helps determine our fate
After dinner I undress, and eventually slip off to sleep
On the ground, just leaving my clothes in a heap
Not really caring, for I have more important things on my mind
Like in the arena, how will a bow I find?
At breakfast, Haymitch is still drinking is wine
And Peeta and I both realize he's crossed the line
I throw a knife, looking surprised, Haymitch asks if he's got fighters
Peeta just eyes him, still angry, and his muscles grow ever tighter
Haymitch agrees to stay somber, as long as we do what he should say
We exchange a glance and nod, and finally get on with our day
I finish my meal, licking what's called hot chocolate from my thumb
Right now I'm not really scared, for all my feelings seem to be numb
The Capitol draws closer, and to the window we rush
Amazed by the sight of it, while Effie starts to gush
Despite being here for the Games, our wonder still shows
As compared to it, District 12 is nothing, a fact everyone knows
So here we'll prepare, and get ready for the Games
Hoping we'll be the one that gets riches and fame
Deep down I know I'll never slow, never stop, and fight to the end
So I can return, and my families' hearts they don't have to mend
I will definitly get the next poem up, much, much, much sooner than last time! May be a couple weeks though, because my muse for Katniss getting prepped by her team, and then meeting Cinna is failing me. Seriously, I have no idea where I'm going to go with it. But I'll get it finished asap! Review please?
