Elder sister

She handled it all,fiercely 
She stood as support, strongly 
The iron pillar, 
Shielding them from unfamiliar. 
Handling responsibilities 
Kicking off the insecurities.
Marking her territory 
Making mistakes 
Teaching lessons bravely. 
Many roles she played 
Second mother she was called. 
Being parent to parents 
Being breadwinner in many.
Sacrifices she made
For being son to many.
Yet she took it all
Fought the fall
Bounced back again and again.
She's the first born 
The Elder sister 
No appreciation, but
Still took it all on her shoulder.
