Just Because..
Just because I am a girl
Doesn't mean I'm "asking for it"
It doesn't mean you can do whatever you want to me
But it does mean I know how to fight back.
Just because you're a boy
Doesn't mean you're superior
It doesn't mean you're allowed to objectify me
But it does mean I'm allowed to be who I am.
Just because we're together
Doesn't mean I'm your "territory"
It doesn't mean I have to please you
But it does mean I love you.
Just because we broke up
Doesn't mean I don't miss you
It doesn't mean I can't live without you
But it does mean I'm strong enough to walk away.
