Do not touch me.
Please do not harm me.
I beg you, don't kill me.
Though I have been chosen to fight
I am only a girl, still afraid of night.
There are now bodies everywhere
All surrounding the Cornicopia,
Giving me that blank, suffered stare.
Just moments ago, they were alive.
Standing on their tubes, waiting to go.
My হৃদয় beats with every stride.
I am going into some place I don't know.
There he is, standing in front of me.
Do not touch me.
Please do not harm me.
I beg you, do not kill me.
For I am only twelve
And আপনি are almost a man.
Don't আপনি see me crying?
Don't আপনি see me frightened?
আপনি have a smile on your face
Something that I have not done for awhile.
আপনি begin to pull out a blade
Something that is so agile.
There আপনি are.
Here I am.
আপনি are above me.
I am on the ground, my legs slashed.
I am only a child.
আপনি are almost a man.
My teeth are clenched together
For I know my mommy is watching.
I can see my mommy,
She is sobbing into her dress.
And there he is.
He has raised his weapon over his head.
And then it comes down.
He walks away.
Do not touch me.
Please do not harm me.
I beg you, do not kill me.
For I am a child, you, almost a man.
And though I never knew you
আপনি did all of these.
I look at আপনি walking away.
As my vision weakens, আপনি disappear.
Mommy and I will meet again.
It may take awhile, but I can wait.
After all, if I was strong enough to be reaped
I will be strong enough to be okay.
Please do not harm me.
I beg you, don't kill me.
Though I have been chosen to fight
I am only a girl, still afraid of night.
