JUST BECAUSE I AM 13

Just Because

I like to have fun doesn't mean
I'm weird.  Just because I'm smart
doesn't make me a nerd. 

Just because I am 13 doesn't mean
I don't have the right to speak my mind. 

Just because I am a woman doesn't mean
that I am weak and afraid.  Just
because I am atheist doesn't make
me a devil worshipper. 

Just because I wear black doesn't make me Goth.
Just because I have a paper cut
doesn't mean I am Emo. 

Just because I look different doesn't mean I am.
Just because I dress different
doesn't make me an outcast.
