Just Because

Just because I play sports 

Doesn't mean I don’t care about school

Doesn't mean I’m a jock 

Doesn't mean I’m strong 

Doesn't mean I don't do homework

Just because I'm a boy 

Doesn't mean I don't have feelings 

Doesn't mean I don't ask for help  

Doesn't mean that I get dirty 

Doesn't mean I'm tough 

Just because I’m full of energy 

Doesn't mean I don't listen to my parents

Doesn't mean I don't pay attention 

Doesn't mean I don't care about school

Just because i'm quiet 

Doesn't mean I don't have a voice

Doesn't mean I don't want my voice to be heard 

Doesn't mean I can't change the world 

Just because I'm white 

Doesn't mean I'm rich 

Doesn't mean I’m smart 

Doesn't mean I only speak English 

Just because I smile 

Doesn't mean I'm always happy 

Doesn't mean I don't cry 

Doesn't mean I don't get sad

Why can't you feel the way I feel?

Why do people think they can judge me?

Why don't people trust us?

Doesn't this sound stupid when it's being read? 

So think how it sounds when it's being said!
