To be the eldest daughter



To be the eldest daughter means,
To take on the responsibilities of everyones and yours
But don’t expect them to help you out

To be the eldest daughter means,
To carry the emotions of your family
But don’t expect them to listen to you

To be the eldest daughter means,
To have the strict rules implemented on you
But don’t expect your sibling to have the same

To be the eldest daughter means,
To carry the house and make sure it doesn't fall apart
But never expect the same
