Not Just

Not intentionally, Just possibilities,
Not a lost, Just a necessity.
Not a mistake, Just a correction,
Not a path, Just a direction.
Not a fall, Just a slip,
Not a point, Just a tip.
Not a problem, Just a challenge,
Not to struggle, Just to manage.
Not forever, Just awhile,
Not accepting, Just denial.
Not in hiding, Just in fear,
Not in society, Just in here.
Not in thought, Just in love,
Not in behind, Just in above.
Not in view, Just in make,
Not in revenge, Just in ache.
Not in greed, J ust in fair,
Not in whole, Just in share.
Not to keep, Just to lend,
Not to scar, Just to mend.
