#older child

[slut4poets]

I was born with

Two children on my hips and

The expectation of being a woman at age twelve

The “grow up” comments

After a joke that “didn’t make sense”

I’m supposed to dress how I want but

“That’s not in the liking of men”

They want me to be strong but

They don’t recognize my sensitive side

I have to put my emotions aside

And “act like a man”

But I am not a man

Nor a “woman”

I am a human being

Above all

Can’t they see me despite the fog of my appearance?

I’m not some perfect thing descended from the gods

something to put on a pedestal

I’m not here to “bear the fruit”

something to recruit

I’m not for you to hit

something to dump your anger in

I’m not your therapist

something to fulfill your needs

I’m not “something”

I am a human being

Imagine that Loki kept a journal as an older child and adolescent. After he bewitches Odin and takes him to Earth so he could take his place, Loki goes to his old room and finds the journal he hasn’t touched in decades, and hides it away so he can read over it when he’s alone. He learns a lesson from his younger self and applies it to his new life as King of Asgard.

Older Child Syndrome

Masooma Memon

“To cut to the chase, this is a syndrome that most elder children feel. Not that they feel left out but rather that they feel forever in the limelight, with their actions, demeanor, choices, and opinions under close scrutiny and criticism. Why? Well, that is because ‘they are the oldest child, and the young ones are to follow their example.’

Here are a few of the feelings that fellow older children would be familiar with, particularly the ones in their teenage years.“

i’m actually so done with acting cool or mature.

i want to act “immature” and do the things i missed out on in my childhood because there was a higher standard set for me.
