Katniss


Katniss walks through the forest all alone

rejecting any kind of affection

like a porcupine that recoils when touched.

She climbs trees that give her a lift every time.

On top of the world, she likes the deafening silence

of the forest animals around her.

As much as she likes the animals… there is no one compared to herself.

There is no one she can trust, thus leaving her with such loneliness.

The responsibilities she has weighs like a ton, restraining her from love.

However, upon seeing her own reflection in a lake, Katniss has fallen in love…
