Just Because I am…

Just because I’m thin
Doesn’t mean i am dying
Doesn’t mean i am sick
And doesn’t mean i am anorexic.
Just because i’m African
Doesn’t mean i’m a thief
Doesn’t mean i’m poor
Doesn’t mean i’m up to no good.
Just because i listen
Doesn’t mean i gossip
Doesn’t mean i will tell
Doesn’t mean you should yell
Just because i’m a man
Why should anyone care?
How different am i from a woman here?
Are we the gender we wear?
Find balance in all that we share.
