JUST BECAUSE


Just because i dont fit your definition of beautiful, doesnt meant I am not. Just because I dont fit your definition of black, doesnt mean I am not.  Just because I dont live in a big house, and drive a fancy car, doesnt mean I am not rich.  Just because I dont smoke, drink, or use profanity doesnt mean I am not cool.  Just because I dont follow a crowd, or belong to a gang doesnt mean I am not a part of something.  If I choose not to do these things, and be these things-means nothing, its my choice, and its Just Because it is the way it is.
