A hunger games
So many people
Excited and afraid
But I'm not one of them

This is my first time
and I don't know what I'm doing
Most of them have trained for years
and they know I haven't

Were dropped down
and time goes by fast
but I don't hear it
because the blood rushed to my head

Suddenly everyone's running
and there are screams everywhere
I run to the center
But then seeing all the dead
I turn and fled

I ran fast away
looking for any other loot
But all I find is some apples
So I climb a tree and hide

That night I listen to the cannons
13 booms out of 24
I made it this far
I can't give up

So in the morning I run
and I find a sword
I find a small shield
and I  know I will survive

At night I hide
till morning comes
then I run
but kill no one

It's been a whole week
and only 5 remain
I hear a scream and see
that the map is pushing us
towards center

I see them all
with way more armor than me
So I run from them
until there are 3

They are a team
and both go for me
but I'm done running
so I fight

Against the odds I won
But did I really win
Now all the ghosts haunt me
and I committed sins
Hunger games

I think it would be vary hard to be chosen as a hunger games challenger. You want to live, but at what cost!


I think you hit it well in this. Nice poem
