MY DARLING SIS

I hear such things everyday
coming from one person
like from the sun comes the ray

This someone else is no one other
but my elder sister by 4 years who thinks
its her duty towards me to forever bother

Nami- you have so many grammatical mistakes
you better work hard if you want to reach the top
coz to get there a lot of sweat is what it takes

Nami- you're stupid and you're a dummy
she forever teases me like this
and gets in trouble with mummy

Nami - don't u think you need to talk
if there's anything bothering you
you better tell me while we walk

Such are the concerns of my darling sis
I'm confused about the fact
whether its all a big trouble or a heavenly bliss

Its after all my life she fails to realise
in all her protectiveness
she seems to take a mother's disguise

Sis' I love you for all you do for me
but I am eighteen an adult, intelligent enough
to make a few minor decisions...
something I feel you surely fail to see.
