Being eldest

I'm so angry these day,
Not cause things don't go my way. 
Okay eldest are the meanest 
Who told we always have to be the best?

In our siblings fault, why blame us
When we do mistake why cause big fuss?
Yes, we should be aware of our responsibility 
But only couple of years younger, they also have ability.

Everyone tells oldest must be the calmest
But there are times when we wanna be wildest.
I know lashing out is no good
However while I clean the house, at least prepare food. 

They always want us to set example
From our early days, I think we have done that ample.
Others say hold a light for your siblings
We can just show them the way, that's my feelings.

I understand this completely, since I'm the eldest too.
I never got the reason why I have to be responsible for my siblings' mistakes... anyway, I enjoyed it. You are good at writing poetry... 👍🏻

Maybe you can try to talk to your parents and siblings about how you truly feel . Divide chores equally and everyone work together
