A Hunger Games Parody

The first few days
Tomorrow I hope I'm still alive.
And with luck,
Everyone else will be dead.
And I will come home to be showered with gifts and praise.
I'll never have to be hungry agian.
The next few days
Tomorrow I hope I'll have some water.
Because I'm soo thirsty,
A drop of rain would be the best thing I've ever seen.
And some food wouldn't hurt.
Only five competitors left
Tomorrow I hope I win.
I hope to see my family again,
To hug my little sibling's,
Skinny, hungry bodies.
If I die, they won't survive.
Down to the final three
Tomorrow,
I hope,
I never sleep,
Again.
Such nightmares as these would make me want to die.
But I must,
Soldier on.
These delusions will never stop, even if I win.
Tomorrow will be better,
Tomorrow I h-
Tomorrow I get to see my family again. I will watch their tear streaked faces, making little clean smears on their dirty faces. They won't think how my death means their collective demise, they'll only think of me.
Tomorrow someone will win the games. Tomorrow I hope, someone is happy.

    I want to write you a song, one that would make you think of me on a whole new level,
    One you could listen to when we're apart.

    Promise, Someday

    Someday.
    Someday we will hug and kiss like its no big deal,
    Wrap our arms around each other and walk down the street.
    Someday I’ll have a special name, that only you call me,
    Something that makes me smile,

    Always something

    It's always got to be something.
    That one thing that takes the wind out from under your wings making you tremble,
    and fall.
    And it's always the something you generally expect,
    But hoped wouldn't happen.
