this is ME

Written out of frustration at my mother and the double PDA standard concerning same-sex couples. I was sitting in church when I wrote this.

Tell me why it matters
Simply, what is all the fuss?
When everyone one is doing it
Why only bother us?

The couple three rows down
She's snuggled in his arms
But--God forbid--I hold h e r hand
And you'd think we're causing harm

Well, now I think it's time
Time for you to see
To show you through something innocent
That, Mother, this is me
