I didn’t choose to have this gift,
But it happened,
Now I have to live with it.
Just ignore them,
Grandma always said.
But it is not that easy,
You see there is one that has claimed me.
His summer glow is starting to take over,
There is no escaping.
I am going to be one of them.
I can feel the summer’s glow inside,
Growing stronger,
Every day my mortality is leaving.
Soon I will have to decide,
Do I stay a summer girl,
Or do I take my rightful seat as their queen?
Everything is happening so fast,
I want to stay a mortal,
But that cannot happen.
Because today is the day,
I will take the staff,
And become the Summer Queen.

This piece was inspired by the book Wickied Lovely. I wanted to base it off of this book because it was such a great story to read.
