Just Because

Just Because… Just because I am a teenager, Does not mean I am loud, Does not mean I am a loser or loner, And does not mean that I decide to decline into the wrong crowd. Just because I am a teenager, Does not mean I am a machine, Does not mean I desire to obtain a tiger, And does not mean I am a source of protein. Just because I am Destiny, Does not mean there is only one personality favored by my book, Does not mean I receive the respect in my style or my hook, And does not mean there is a way I am supposed to be. I am a rook. Just because I am a teenager, Does not mean I am outrageous, Does not mean I like to hurt, And does not mean I am a chaotic daredevil that retains no bliss or patience.
