the older child/still a child
Am I thinking too much
or being the oldest really sucks?
all the expectations and visions they have for me
ruining my self esteem and I'm tired of hearing
grow up faster your parents are getting tired
try to be more mature your getting older
you must be better
your younger siblings are watching you
you must be the inspiration
you're the oldest you gotta be strong
never learnt to put myself first
will I ever be enough at all?
I just wanna close my ears
cause all the words somehow
found a way to enter my nightmares
now I can't even sleep
without tears falling slowly
when will they ever understand
that it's getting too much
when will they see how hard it's to fake a smile
act like you're all fine
it's not only my peace of mind but
my entire childhood taken away
to take care of the smaller ones
always tried to be the easy child
but forgot I was still a child!
