Deviance

Drums roll and the fireworks reach the sky

Colors so bright that they blind my eye

“Bring on the victors, bring on the winners” they said

“The audience await, we will air in seconds”

“The horses are ready, let the show begin”

“The countdown starts at ten”

Wear your make up like a doll 

And put on your papyrus gown

Or should it be of feathers, or should it be of silk

What do the Capotal appeal, what do they think?!

The hair should be up, like a cone, standing

And the lashes should be curled, like twists and circles

And the colors should be shimmering;

Abhorring Gold and Silver

Bombard them with emotions

Just as fake as their looks

They paint their skin, they paint their feathers

They want to see me in their faked colors

They call me the “Girl on Fire”

For they adore me when I’m burning

Let the gown burn, let the fire take over their sight

Let The "Snow" melt with his raging desire

To kill me, to put me down but I’ll never die

I’m living in the people, in their fury uprising

Survival is a game, a game of hunger it’s said

And I volunteered to let my flying arrow pierce their hearts

I set myself on fire to defy them; I’m not for their amusement

I’ll swing my dress for them, unleashing my appalling

They will like the fire bursting 

Not knowing that it’ll burn them eventually

The rebellion is rising, we are fighting against the silence

It’s all for the Hunger Games, their act of deviance

Based on the movie The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
