Everdeen Trials (Fan Poetry Commission)

I can't let them see the fear
Tears won't do me any good
I can't cry
I…

My fingers have been trembling
Without my notice
For the past half hour

I've been watching the clock
Its tick tick tick

I keep trying to tell it to wait for me
Then an hour less
Another day gone

Don't think about it.
Everything's going to be okay
All right?

It's such a lie
But Peeta-

Does he really believe I can
Do this?

Blood. Everywhere.
A waking nightmare.

They were all like me once
Before the reaping
Stole them from their districts

Prim… I promised…
I'd fight for you…
But I'm not sure –

That I'll make it out alive.
