We listen and we don't Judge!
And by "we"; I mean "You"
When I was 12 I wanted to look nerd and cool
I faked my eyesight and wore glasses to school
I like bananas with chocolate fudge
We listen and we don't judge
Once I topped my class, But Aashir studied hard
I changed 500 to 450 on my result card
I was a silly girl but I held no grudge
We listen and we don't judge
I would rush with my bro to buy vegetables—Strange?
Just to share the treat from the leftover change ;)
I was a stubborn girl, I wouldn't budge
We listen and we don't judge
I wanted a little sister, but at the same time, I didn’t
She would steal my Papa and Mama—I thought forbidden
To help people rise, I'd give a nudge
We listen and we don't judge
Author's note: Do you relate? lol!

This is funny 😄 love your take on the TikTok/reels trend. Yes I can relate, I am glad I am the youngest (”We listen, We do not judge”) .
This is so relatable... I love it. The sibling one is true :D
A delightful journey through the whimsical and candid moments of childhood. It's a wonderful mix of light-hearted anecdotes and deeper reflections on childhood emotions and experiences. who is Aashir?
This was a great poem!
Totally can relate with the "faking eyesight" to wear glasses! 😂 used to think it was cool 🤣 We can all relate of doing quirky things...
Of course I do! We all have some weird - or special?🫣🤔- quirks that we keep secret, but that make us so very unique and define who we are. That was a fun read, and I could never judge your quirks for they make you all the more a relatable and charming sister!💕✨
We listen and we don't judge
The only thing that I could relate to was being a stubborn girl hahahahahaha. Loved your poem!
Some relatable experiences, but you're really ahead, what an amazing poem this is. It feels like a song, simply wonderful. And this pic is so fun, it's great!
Haha, this is damn relatable! We've all had those quirky moments growing up, trying to fit in or doing things that don’t make much sense in hindsight but sure make for great memories. I love how you captured it with a fun, lighthearted tone.💖 We all have our weird little stories, but it’s nice to know there’s always someone who’ll listen without judging. 🤧✨
"She would steal my Papa and Mama" That is true ... a little... 🤣 I have a younger brother and that happened LOL, beautiful poem , and the picture is crazy I love it 😂
