The Youngest Son

by Twan - Aries

hello, father.

things have really come down since you went away
mom told me that she had an uncle who was gay...

i hope you don't forget me, i hope you have enough feeling
to not forsake me and send me away reeling
to want to love me but not let society fling me to the ground
are you going to hold me up,or let me fall down??

to fall away, from hell where did we go
i feel like loving another man, and i feel so
much like singing yet cringing away in fear
i told you what our family is like, and with you being so near
i told you that i didn't finish school, i know you're disappointed in me
you thought i had promise, and i wanted that degree

the youngest son, they say, is always the one
who knows what he is, when he sees the sun
so my father will look into my eyes
will i finally tell him what i must tell him??
