Just Because

Just because I have pain in my body

Doesn't change who I am.

Just because I am poor

Doesn't make me less human.

Just because I act different

Doesn't make me strange.

Just because I talk oddly

Doesn't mean I shouldn't express myself.

Just because I wear dark clothes

Doesn't make me dangerous.

Just because my hair is pink

Doesn't make me a freak.

Just because I smile at you

Doesn't make me fair game.

Just because I don't smile

Doesn't mean I'm sinister.

Just because I'm quiet

Doesn't mean I'm anti-social.

Just because I'm talkative

Doesn't mean I'm not afraid.

Just because you assume something

Doesn't make it true.

Just because you heard something

Doesn't make it so.

Just because we are different

Doesn't mean we can't learn from each other.

Just because we are similar

Doesn't make us friends.

Remember that sometimes people are who they are

Just because.....
