Loving.
Deemed a burden
And shunned throughout childhood.
Grew up to support her parents.
Daughter.
Caring.
Considered less,
Never the favourite.
Earned to grant his lofty wishes.
Sister.
Doting.
Made him her world.
Gifted him her success.
Altruistic, she packed her dreams.
The wife.
Selfless.
Her heart melted.
At those innocent smiles.
She burnt her wings for them to fly.
Mother.
Tender.
But not weakened.
Yet to be defeated.
Invincible by ‘letting go’.
“That’s her!
