It's strange to be an older sibling
sometimes too belittling.
Sometimes you have to be a mother,
when yours is out partying
nights of no one there
one after another
soon nobody is there for you
and your afraid to stick up for yourself
to leave any clues
you become too afraid to speak,
because no one likes mom when she's mad
you think to yourself "when did i get so weak?"
and when you realize you've grown old
and when your finally free you think
"i've gone cold"
Your only fifteen
you haven't grown old
your still young they say
then why doesn't it feel that way
i'm no longer a teen
im a tall child,
never having a childhood yourself
you don't know how to act a kid
everyone acts so young
you bid yourself goodbye
you don't know how to act
without being a mother
your nothing..
it's fact.
