RE: Freestyle Poem: Life of a First Son

in Freewriters7 months ago

You just made me laugh with you the title of this but actually, it's not that funny as I may think. Your poem resonates with responsibility that comes with age. Sometimes it might be very demeaning and draining when you get to settle responsibilities as the first son. Sometimes you would wish you had an elder sibling so the responsibilities would be taken off your shoulders a bit. You're not alone in this as I'm also in your position. It's not that easy but we have no other option than to thrive with patience and endurance. Your echoes are short-lived as you'll gain balance soon. Just remember your parents were in that position of providing for you and doing your business. Now is the time for you to do their business..... You're not alone in this...

Am glad to finally receive a comment on this post, the title was what you never expected right? 😂

Yh is not easy at all and the source of this stress or whatever, is as a result of the bad economy of Nigeria, one need to work harder in this country and I think it has it's advantage because this bad economy has made us wiser and more hardworking.

I have always seen a bright future and that's one of the things that cools me down, I need a new phone but for now I need to work smarter to get it before I enter school because because the rate of my expenses will increase when I enter school.

Life isn't a bed of roses anyway, the first child get so much responsibilities when they are young because when their parents are gone, they will fully be the head to their siblings, their siblings will always look up to them.
