Freestyle Poem: Life of a First Son

in hive-161155 •  4 months ago 
Hey I found my pen!

Ok I got a device and threw my pen unexpectedly, was it the devil? No I made a mistake, I didn't throw my pen all by myself, it ran away from my hands and I blame myself because I didn't hold it tight. I always see my pen on the floor but procrastination and mismanagement of time made me not to pick it up and continue what I was writing.

That's me writing in parables 👆. Let's translate together👇

I became a writer since when I was less than 10 years old. I always write alot of storybooks and I get more inspired each time keep on growing. I started writing poems when I became a teenager. My writing git to it's peak during the lock down period because I had no phone and I hardly play or watch TV. After the lockdown I saw my statistics and discovered that I broke a record of writing more than 10 storybooks in six months.

Ok I will love to tell you that since October 3rd 2020 when my parents bought a button phone for me, I haven't written one storybook till now and am ashamed of saying this. I was about to write again but I joined steemit and got more busy but I wrote poems. I think am back a bit in writing poems at least. Pleasecheck my freestyle poem below 👇

Life of a first son

IMG_20231225_102526.jpg

In life everyone learns
As learning never end
Parents have children
Most parents got a male as their first child.

Things gets hot for the male at a certain age
If the father isn't financially or physically stable
The father is the pillar of the family
He's the head of the family.

Everyone look up to the father for support
All round support in life
The first son supports the father
When he isn't stable for some moments.

The first son gets bigger tasks
He needs to support the father
In order not to let the family fall
The first son needs to work hard.

Set goals for himself
Act wisely and matured
Think big and positive
Show a good example.

The first son first gets pressurized by the family
But he needs to calm down and be wise
Because if he doesn't he will overthink and overwork
And may end up dying before the father when he doesn't have his own family yet.

First sons have no room to be lazy
They will be future fathers of their children.
Is important they experience what it feels to be a father, on time.
I salute every first sons and daughters all over the world.

Conclusion

I always create rhythms in my poems, I enjoy it more when the last words of the first and third line in a stanza matches. They make it more enjoyable to read. All my poems has rhythms but I refused to do it today because this is a freestyle poem and it will be saved in steemit. @wakeupkitty and @patjewell please mark my poem and give me a result, I need room for improvement. Am a medical student but I have always admired literature right from when I was less than 10, it could be a talent anyway.

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.

I am also the first child, and although I am female, I also had a lot of pressure on me.
My parents only wanted me to give it my all, and that I realized afterwards. I bought my first car myself, and my siblings each received a car. It only made me stronger.

I can guarantee you that one day this son will look back, understand, and say... Thank you!

Nice poem!

Oh wow you are also the first child that's incredible, first child always get special blessings from God as long as they keep on living s good life.

Is good you bought your first card yourself, I love that.
