Summer Child/Autumn Heart

My younger sister was like spring:
new flowers and blue skies one moment-
then lightning and rolling thunderstorms the next.

On the other hand, I was like summer:
blazing sunshine and endless consistency-
relentlessly bright and optimistic, no matter what.

But the heat breaks you, wears you down; and one day,
you wake up and realize that you want to be, need to be, different.
