You Dare Ask Who Am I? – Katniss Everdeen


You dare ask who I am?
 I am the one who would take chances with Gale
And go in the woods and hunt
You dare ask who I am?
I am the one who puts food on the table
Because my mother is to hurt to do it herself
You dare ask who I am?
I am the one whose father had a beautiful voice when he sings
But passed in a mine explosion
You dare ask who I am?
I am the one who save her sister
From a fight I know she wouldn’t be able to win
You dare ask who I am?
I am the one who caught the judge’s eye
Shooting the arrow right at their table when they paid no attention to me
You dare ask who I am?
I am the one who scored an 11 in the training course
You dare ask who I am?
I am the one who exploded the carrier tributes food
To see how long they would last
You dare ask who I am?
I am the one who made an alliance with Rue
You dare ask who I am?
I am the one who watched Rue die with my own eyes
You dare ask who I am?
I am the one who almost lost Peeta to blood poising
You dare ask who I am?
I am the one who was almost killed by Clove,
Until Thresh came and saved me
You dare ask who I am?
I am the one who found out that the barriers were poisoned
When Peeta and I saw Foxface dead
You dare ask who I am?
I am the one who killed Cato with one arrow
You dare ask who I am?
I am the one whose heart is split in two
Not knowing who to give it to
You dare ask who I am?
I am the one who WON the Hunger Games
You still dare to ask who I am?
I am Katniss Everdeen
The Girl On Fire

The Hunger Games


 
     Why did the boy from district 1 have to kill Rue, the only thing that was close to Katniss, the only thing that reminded Katniss of home, the only thing that reminded Katniss of her little sister Prim. Good people weren't meant to die.
