Just Because

Just because I’m different
Doesn’t mean I’m stupid
Doesn’t mean I don’t have feelings
And doesn’t mean I don’t belong.
Just because I’m a girl
Doesn’t mean I can’t work.
Doesn’t mean I can cook
Doesn’t mean I don’t like sports
Just because you all judge me
Doesn’t mean I care
Doesn’t mean no one likes me
Doesn’t mean I’m going to change
Just because you don’t like me
Do you think I’m going to listen to you?
Do you think this is okay?
To harass someone until they fall down and cry?
Everyone is different and we need to accept that.

What inspired me to write this poem is my own experience. I have always been bullied by the people around me. I wanted to write this for those who are bullied and feel like they don't belong.
