Just because


Just because I am good at sports 

Doesn't mean that I don't work hard

Doesn't mean that I am conceited

Doesn't mean that I take things for granted

I am humble.

 

Just because I am "smart",

Doesn't mean that I don't study 

Doesn't mean that things come easy to me

Doesn't mean that I don't struggle

I am efficient.

 

Just because I am a girl

Doesn't mean that I'm bad at life

Doesn't mean that I can't read

Doesn't mean that I am bad at school

I am but a small representation of what girls can do. 

 

Just because I am latina

Doesn't mean that I have a big family

Doesn't mean that I am scared to put my face out there

Doesn't mean that I only know Spanish

I am my own person and I do what's best.
