*what's your answer?*
I just to need to know a simple thing: where is it in your world that I fit in? It's funny how you'll sit for hours talking to kids about their futures, about colleges and scholarships, what they want to do, setting goals, how to get there, how to do it. How many times did you do that with me? You'll let him go out with people you don't know, guys and girls much older than him, driving out to little towns to their houses, you'd never have let me do that, never. You'll do anything for your athletes, make it to all of their senior games, all their big moments, every senior feeling, fear, anxiety, and cheer them on, how many senior games of mine did you make it to? You'll drive to every far away game, no matter how far it may be to support him, to support his teams, you didn't do that for me. You'll talk for hours to him about his games, about strategy and how he played, you usually spent maybe 10 minutes with me after my games, then changed the subject. You'll laugh about his grades, B's and C's and tell him it's ok, no big deal, but if my grades would have been that, I would have been punished. Your athletes have your undivided attention, your students know you better than I do, and you see nervous of me around them. I have to introduce myself to those around you, you happen to forget to acknowledge your only daughter. But let me just tell you this, it is your fault this family is flawed, it's your fault that Mom is so unhappy and your fault that I had to say goodbye again to all that I loved. So I just need to know one simple thing now, where is it in your world that I fit in? You seem to have time and energy for everyone but me, so tell me now... what's your answer? I want to know.
