Being spoiled isn’t always

A bad thing

Sometimes

The child doesn’t want to be

They hesitate to ask

Knowing it’s a yes

Or a irritated yes

So they hold it back

Knowing they don’t need it

But their friends

Still call them lucky

For what they have

The child is an only child

They don’t need to share

Unlike most

They hate it

Their friends don’t understand

The loneliness

Of being an only child

“Lucky”

“I wish I was an only child”

“Ugh, want to take my brother?”

Listen to yourselves

Don’t say you want something

If you do not know the outcome

Being an only child

Isn’t always the best

The loneliness

Overflows

It sometimes feels

As if no one is there for you

Family isn’t everywhere

You can’t bond with a sister

Or a brother

You can’t feel protected

Have the one person to go

“Don’t mess with my sibling”

You do not possess the ability

To fool around

Or argue about stupid stuff

Share things with

Secrets

No

The one thing

An only child cannot

Get

The only thing they want

Is a sibling

To hug when the parents argue

To feel like you’re not alone

In your own home

Being an only child

Isn’t the best
