Just Because
Just because I need to sit down
Don't look at me with frustrated frown
You never know what hides inside
The daily pain I try and hide
Just because I look ok
Don't assume the pain's at bay
Just because I don't carry a stick
Does not mean I am not sick
Just because I get out of bed
Does not mean I don't feel dead
Just because I smile and talk
Doesn't mean it's an easy walk
Just because I go to work
Does not mean I sit and shirk
I work my **** off just to show
I'm as good as any pro
Just because it hurts to clean
Does not stop me feeling mean
Just because I aim to please
Does not mean the pain will ease
Just because I speak my pain
Does not mean I'm sad as rain
I just need you to understand
It's not that easy to lend a hand
Just because I am disabled
Does not mean I should be labelled
I am me, one and only
Although somedays it's feels so lonely
