7 billion people

There are people that are born to serve the community
                Then there are those that dirty up the society

There are people that are born to do a 9-5 job
                Then there are the ones who exist to be just slobs

There are people that didn't have enough time
                Then there are those who spent their life living on the 
                sidelines

There are people that were meant to fight wars
                Then there are those who profit making mortars

There are people that make beautiful melodies
                Then there are those who use them for remedies

There are people that desperately wanted to survive
                Then there are the ones I envy for not being alive

There are people who devote their time trying to analyze
                Then there are those who do not know which value in life 
                they must realize

There are people who sit and ponder
                Then there are the ones who make all sorts of wonder

There are people who write to ease their sorrow
                Then there are the ones who couldn't fight for tomorrow

just because...


just because I'm not sullen
does not mean I am not broken

just because I am broken
does not mean I need fixing

just because I lost someone
does not make me your orphan

just because I accept your sympathy
does not mean I am yours to pity

just because I was never there
does not mean I didn't care

just because I did not play my part
does not mean it didn't hurt

just because I play my songs
does not mean you get to sing along

just because I celebrate life
does not mean I selfishly wanted to thrive

just because I stumbled
does not mean I am crippled

just because I'm not crying
does not mean I'm not grieving

just because....



doesn't always mean...it is
