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.
