I support…
A simple phrase that is so short
But the ending of it may make someone snort
It is used so much and in such a way, it could be considered sport
But I’ll say it if it means that a man will properly court
I’ll say it if it means that a mother can choose to abort
I’ll say it if it means that women will not be cut short
I’ll say it if it means that the mentally ill won’t take the last resort
If it means anything to anyone, this is the phrase:
I support
I believe…
A simple phrase that people can wear on their sleeve
One that had built up the world we weave
It is something to hold on to when we grieve
This is a goal and ideal that we can achieve
The hope that others can easily deceive
I’ll say it for it is what I perceive
I’ll say it for the ones I love on Christmas Eve
I’ll say it so you may not misconceive
If it means anything to anyone, this is the phrase:
I believe
I am…
A simple phrase that will almost never be a scam
A simple phrase to let you know that I won’t scram
What comes behind it is the social exam
But, goddamn
I am not a robot for you to program
I should be respected, whether or not I wish to be called ma’am
I should be respected, no matter if I’m gay, bi, or polyam
I should be respected, even when I’m Siam
This is our phrase
This is who I am
What is it about these phrases, that interest me so
Is it the fact that people use it? Or could it be the final blow?
Are these phrases the things that keep us apart?
Or will the connections they make build a new start?
I would get these phrases tattooed on my arm
So that I will not forget the harm
This is who I am
This is what I believe
This is what I support
If it all means that we, together, can truly be free.
