mockingjay

Hope

I hear her name called

and my heart stops

I run down the aisle and

call out “I volunteer as tribute.”

The crowd puts three finger

to their lips and slowly

raise them towards the sky

saying goodbye

I decide in that moment

that I will fight

Not for me but

for the ones that I love

First

A girl with her bow

Now

A rebel with a cause

Mockingjay, a symbol of hope
