Amelioration @ ten
If only I could’ve waved the magic wand
pulled from a Ten year old’s imagination
Believing god or the cosmos placed me
reincarnated for a tort in a previous
existence
In anguish, fear….. pain ----
increasingly mental emotional damage
wishing, O how I wished daily for release
anything to improve my life
Thinking the first born must be
the (an) example
the experimental child
reasons for the physical tortures
so siblings would toe the line
Hence, swallowing a whole bottle
of little white pills seemed
simplest of solutions
it wasn’t

As the oldest child, I can relate to the experimental torture of us. My littlest sister is my mother's favorite so she gets all the soft-handling. But it's me she comes to for advice & knowledge. I don't mind that at all. But the bringing up...that's another matter. Like you, it wasn't the answer for me either
