Just Because by Tanner G.

Just Because

Just because she’s a girl,
She doesn’t have to wear pink,
She doesn’t have to wear makeup,
She doesn’t have to be a girly girl,

Just because she’s a girl,
Don’t break her heart,
Don’t tell her what to do or what not to do,
Don’t be mean to her,

Just because she’s a girl,
Don’t expect her to be perfect,
Don’t expect her to cry when she gets hurt,
Don’t expect her to be weak,

Just because she’s a girl—let her be her

Just Because

Just because he’s a boy,
He doesn’t have to be a bad boy,
He doesn’t have to suck at math,
He doesn’t have to be into sports,

Just because he’s a boy,
Don’t tell him to only hang with boys,
Don’t tell him to act stupid,
Don’t tell him to stay away from girls

Just because he’s a boy,
Don’t expect him to be a jock,
Don’t expect him to be a slob,
Don’t expect him to be a jerk,

Just because he’s a boy—let him be him
