Heavy is the crown

Heavy is the crown of the eldest daughter Not made of gold but of duty She was never allowed to fall apart Because everyone needed her in one piece Heavy is the role of the practice child. The fixer of messes The keeper of peace. She's a child with a mother's heart Raised by a mother who carried storms Yet still became a shelter. And a father who carried silence More easily than words Heavy is the crown of the eldest daughter Weighed down by the exhaustion in her bones Heavy is the crown.
