The second mother .
The peacekeeper.
The perfect one.The one who balances
The chaos
Of her family.Who bares the weight
Of expectation
And idealsWho must remain
Calm and quiet.
Who mustn't have
A voice.The one who translates
Important conversations,
And apologises
To wait staff
For her parents'
Ignorance.Oh who
Will care
For
Her?
