Summer’s heat, so warm and bright
But for me, it brings a different fight
Allergies rage, a constant test
My body protests, my skin a mess
The pollen count is high and free
A storm of irritation, for me to see
My eyes itch, my nose runs red
I’m a slave to tissues, my constant dread
The sun beats down, a scorching glare
My skin feels tight, my scalp’s aflare
The heat makes my allergies worse, it’s true
A never-ending battle, for me to get through
The grass and weeds, they start to grow
And with them comes the allergens’ toll to show
I sniffle, I sneeze, I rub my eyes
Trying to calm the chaos, as the allergens rise
But still I yearn for summer’s delight
The sunshine warm, the days so bright
To enjoy the world, without this constant fear
To breathe freely, without a single tear
So I’ll soldier on, through the heat and the haze
And hope that soon, the seasons will change their ways
And I’ll be free from this allergy’s grasp
And summer’s warmth, will be a gentle caress.
