I read a book about a girl on fire
I read a book about a fearless prior
I read a book about a boy with a wand
I read a book about a girl whose drawings respond
I read a book about a boy with demigod powers
I read a book about a girl whose weakness made her flower
The girl on fire taught me to never give up
The fearless girl taught me that all is corrupt
The boy who lived taught me to accept my fate
Along with the ruined girl whose destiny was great
The son of Poseidon taught me to be a hero
The girl with cancer taught me to live today as there may be no tomorrow
They taught me to look up when things look bleak,
And make me strong, when I myself am weak.
They showed me I didn’t need a wand or knife
To be the saviour of my fictional life
And that is why
We call them the heroes of our generation
