Nobody seems to care

But I felt like I should share

 

I was at the ripe age of ten

My parents were fighting again

 

I had to grow up fast 

Even though they never asked

 

My brother and sister needed me

To be there when they had to pee

Or wanted a cup of tea

Or wanted to visit the sea

Or climb a tall tree

Or someone to just agree

They didn’t want to plea

They just wanted to be carefree

 

I was able to provide

Even if I was not qualified

 

I did not even realize

How much I grew to despise

 

My parents put a lot on me

And I have still not been set free

 

My siblings still need me

Maybe not when they pee

Or want a cup of tea

Or to visit the sea

Or climb a tall tree

But I’m sill here to agree

And to hear them plea

Because I want them to be carefree

 

My siblings have been my entire life

Even when we strife

 

I could not be more proud

Because I have vowed

 

To make sure they will be okay

Even when I have to go away 

 

My siblings do not need me

Not when they pee

Or want a cup of tea

Or to visit the sea

Or climb a tall tree

Even though I’m here to agree

And hear them plea

They are now free

 

I have done all that I can

I have tried to be superman

 

I have grown so much

And I expect nothing less than such

 

I am stronger, I’m not going to lie

And now it’s time to say goodbye
