The Loneliness of Katniss

I’ve got a different story
That has nothing to do what
They’ve told you about her.
In the end she kills herself
And nobody knows why
Except from her and myself
In the end, she dies
Because the voices wouldn’t stop screaming
The ghosts wouldn’t stop coming
The bad memories made the days unbearable
And nightmares made the nights frightful.
There is no happy ending
And nobody is safe
From the thoughts that storm the fragile heads
Of people who think they’re in control.
Nobody noticed what was happening
Nobody remembered what she had gone through
She was lost and lonely
Afraid of collapsing again
So she took some pills
Believing they could make her fly
They could make her like the moon
Shining even in the darkest nights
Nightlock! Nightlock! Nightlock!
In the end she kills herself
And I am the only one who knows why.
