Just Because

Just because he doesn't have a post secondary education means he's dumb

Just because she drops out of school means she isn't determined

Just because he has scars on his body means that he cuts

Just because she has a different taste in music means she's an outkast

Just because he cares about his physical appearance means he's gay

Just because she gets pregnant before marriage means she should be shunned

Just because she likes to put her body on display because she is comfortable in her own skin means she should be raped/abused

Just because he looks at himself in the mirror trying to fit society's ideal image means he is self conscious

Because at the end of the day,

who tells society how we should act/behave or look

or what's "socially acceptable"

Isn't it us?
