Mother, can't you see I'm cold too?
you came to my room last night, covered my siblings with their blankets and left me the way i was, all cold and bare.
are you blind enough to not to see me, or were thinking that I can take care of myself just because I am theoldest of your children?
is this what they say, the eldest daughter curse? the mother in-act for your children? the babysitter? the child who was forced to grow up, just because she was born first?
is this what they say, the eldest child curse? the child who is forced to understand the situation, the child who is not allowed to react, laugh, be childish?
last night you left me shivering, thinking i would cover myself.
but tell me mother, are you blind enough to not to see me longing for your care, your hugs, kisses? or maybe you think I am old enough to not to need them? Am I still the not the child, whom you cared forwhem she was a baby?
Tell me mother, are you blind, or am I selfish?
