Just Because

Just Because I’m Bosnian

It doesn’t mean you have to hate me

It doesn’t mean you have to talk about me

It doesn’t make you any smarter

Just Because I’m Bosnian

Still treat me the same as everyone else

Don’t say I can’t do anything right, when I can

Get to know me first then talk about me

Just Because I’m Bosnian

It doesn’t mean you could tell me what to do   

Nerma Jakopovic

JUST BECAUSE

Just because I’m skinny

It doesn’t mean call me names

It doesn’t mean you are better than me

It doesn’t make me hungry all the time

Just because I’m skinny

Doesn’t mean I can’t wear hip-huggers

Doesn’t mean I can’t get the same attention as you

Doesn’t mean I can’t be a super model

Just because I’m skinny

Don’t be jealous

Jamila Becton

Just Because

Just because I look mean

Don’t assume I have a problem

Doesn’t mean I’m mean all the time

Doesn’t mean to ask me a lot of questions

Just because I look mean

Doesn’t mean I’m rude

Doesn’t mean give me dirty looks

Doesn’t mean try to make me mad

Just because I look mean

Don’t say things in a rude manner to me

Briauna White

Just Because

Just Because I talk too much

It doesn’t mean I’m a trouble-maker

It doesn’t mean I talk all the time

It doesn’t mean I’m stupid

Just Because I talk too much

It doesn’t mean you have to be mean

It doesn’t mean you can’t be my friend

It doesn’t mean don’t talk to me

Just because I talk too much

I still want you to tell me to shut up

Brieonna Davis

Just Because

Just because I’m kind of slow,

Doesn’t mean I’m dumb

It doesn’t mean that I am special.

Just because I’m kind of slow,

It doesn’t mean I can’t talk fast

It doesn’t mean I walk and run slow,

It doesn’t mean that I’m not nice.

Just because not too bright

I’m still really slow,

Just because I don’t catch on that fast

I’m still kind of smart.

Stephanie Bryant

   Just Because

Just because I am quiet

It doesn’t mean I am nice or good

It doesn’t mean I don’t have friends.

Just because I am not popular

 Doesn’t mean I hate you

It doesn’t mean I don’t like you

It doesn’t mean I am not you friend.

And just because this is a loud world

Doesn’t mean there are no quiet people in this world.
 

Eunice Reyes

Just Because

Just because I’m short

Doesn’t mean I can’t play ball

Doesn’t mean I can’t jump high

Just because I’m short don’t mean you can look down on me

It doesn’t mean that you can pick on me

It doesn’t mean that I can’t go pro

It doesn’t mean that you’re special than me

Just because I’m different still treat me with respect

Michael Henderson

Just Because

Just because I’m not wealthy

    Doesn’t mean I will steal

Just because I’m not wealthy

   Doesn’t mean I will look poor

Just because I’m not wealthy

  Doesn’t mean I won’t dress nice

  Doesn’t mean my hair won’t look right

  It’s not embarrassing to me.

Just because I’m not wealthy

  Doesn’t mean you can treat me like plaque.

Just because you are wealthy

  Doesn’t mean your better than me.

LaTonya Sims

Just Because

Just because I’m a girl with big feet

Don’t call me "Big Foot"

Don’t make fun of me.

Just because I’m a size 12 shoe

It doesn’t mean I can’t fit any shoe

It doesn’t mean I have to get my shoes made

It doesn’t mean I wear such a shoe.

Just because I’m a size 12 shoe

Just because I'm a girl with big feet.

Charica Rutherford

JUST BECAUSE

Just because I’m always hungry,

    Don’t mean I’m fat,

    Don’t mean I crave White Castles,

Just because I’m brave

    It doesn’t mean I will stand in front

     of a car

    It doesn’t mean I will bungee jump

    from the arch

    It doesn’t mean I will ever fly on an

     airplane

Just because I’m Hungry

Just because I’m Brave
