My biggest regret as a kid

Was wishing to grow up pretty quick

Being an adult is no good news

It just means you’re always on your own

Especially when you’re the youngest sibling

Everyone thinks you’re still a kid

They think your issues are small and silly

And that’s how you’re never properly seen

They say being the youngest kid

Means being the most privileged

We have a reputation of being spoiled

They say we get what we always ask for

When you have an issue they won’t notice

They don’t hear the sound of your weak heartbeat

They don’t see the scars on your skin

They don’t see you drowning in your tears

You turn into the quiet one

Because they look at your issues with a smile

They don’t take your wounds seriously

Because you’ll always be the spoiled youngest kid

And you always get everything you need

Except eyes for your scars

Except ears for your cries

Except hands to heal your heart

Except arms to give you a hug

And you’ll always be known as the spoiled youngest child
