Haymitch - Why?

Theme 6 - Why?

Why did I even bother, to fight for my life. I lost everything anyway. I didn't lose my life, but I lost everything worth living for. My family. My girlfriend. What was left for me now? Nothing. Nothing is left for me now.

Nothing in this empty house. I could have shared it with someone but the ones I could have shared it with are gone now. Dead and buried in their graves. Dead and gone and never coming back.

Nothing in the money I won. I could have supported her. My girl. She wouldn't have lived a life of poverty but now she is gone. She never got to live a good life. She had to suffer under the poverty of this District.

There is nothing in District 12. I hated it to begin with. But everything that held any meaning, the people that brought be back here, they are gone as well. And I am left alone.

Nothing in the Capitol, the place where he resides. The one who took them away, the one who gave the order to end their lives. I despise the Captiol and what it did, and all the people who support it. They will never understand, what they have done to us.

There is nothing left in this life, nothing at all. So why did I bother to fight to live when I lost everything in the end? What was the point? Why?

Why did I have to be reaped?

Why did I have to fight?

Why did people have to die?

Why did I lose everything even though I won?

Why must I smile now and say its all alright?

Why?
