“A FACE OF HIM SELF HOW CAN A LITTLE BOY KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO IF HIS FATHER WAS NEVER THERE TO SHOW HIM THE ROPES. WHAT CAN THE SON SAY AS HE GET'S OLDER WHEN HE WAS NEVER TAUGHT WHAT TO SAY. HOW DO A SON FEELS WHEN HE COULDN'T FORGIVE HIS FATHER BECAUSE OF THE PILE OF MESS HE LEFT BEHIND TRYING TO LEAVE A DIRTY MARK. PLUS WHAT CAN A MOTHER SAY WHEN ALL SHE DID WAS DO HER BEST. HOW DO A SON FEELS WHEN HE SEE'S HIS MOTHER SHED A TEAR EVERY NIGHT. AND WHAT CAN A SISTER SAY WHEN SHE FOUND OUT HER BROTHER WAS GAY. NOT EVEN KNOWING WHAT TO SAY AND WHAT DOES A FATHER DO WHEN HE WAKES UP AND LOOK AT HIM SELF IN THE MIRROR LIKE IS HE REALLY PROUD. THEN TRIES TO COME BACK TO THE FAMILY AND FOUND OUT THAT HIS DAUGHTER WAS WILD,AND HIS SON HAD WALKED OUT.”
