What It Means To Be A Sibling
The closest being to another figure, you can call your parent.
Whether they be blood-related or not,
They can unlock the gates towards the castle.
Which is known as, family.
We cry, laugh, and even have meals together.
Early parenthood, freedom, and responsibility,
Are the shackles that bind us
As the number of siblings increase.
For an only child, the road may be tough and lonely.
But just to be sure prepare yourself to learn how to handle everything on your own.
Having an older sister is having a mix of a psychiatrist and a developing cook in the picture.
They listen to our complaints, offer a solution, and even attempt to feed both our
Parched and starving bodies responding to our cravings.
An elder sister usually has a clear understanding of the world and will put forth any tactic
To ensure eternal happiness and satisfaction.
A big brother is a symbolism of protection and of presentation.
Big brothers may be blunt and unappealing but mean well.
A way on how they present themselves is through their fashion sense.
They also may seem soft-spoken.
Which the saying, “Actions speak louder than words.” are an excellent interpretation.
Protection kicks in once a loved one or those who they hold dear to their hearts,
Shed a tear; which is a sight men would not like to witness.
The point of being a sibling is like a second parent,
Learning how to be individualistic.
We worry, work hard, stress, endure uncountable hardships and experience any other
Emotions like any other human being.
Psychiatrist, yoga instructor, and a police officer
Is what a sibling really is inside their hearts and create their soul existence.
A combination of multitasking emotions, actions and all of it is for the sake of being blissful
Knowing you will not have any regrets for the future.
