Just because I’m vulnerable doesn’t mean I’m weak. Just because I don’t cry in front of you doesn’t mean I don’t have feelings. Just because I don’t speak up doesn’t mean I don’t have anything to say. Just because I don’t react doesn’t mean I don’t know how to tear you apart. Just because I smile doesn’t mean you can walk on me. Just because I don’t hurt you back doesn’t mean I lack masculinity. Just because you say I am fat doesn’t make me ugly. Not uglier than your soul. Just because you say I’m feminine doesn’t make my gender redundant. I’m more a man than you’ll ever be, choking on your insecurities. Getting kicks out of putting other people down, everytime you feel threatened by the vastness of the world. Just because I don’t stop you doesn’t mean you can go back to doing what you did. Just because I am me. And not the version of me, You want me to be. Just because I am me. And just because I don’t roar doesn’t mean I’m not strong. I’m more than capable of ripping you to shreds, with my weaponry of words. Just because.

Gender Roles.
Just because I’m vulnerable doesn’t mean I’m weak. Just because I don’t cry in front of you doesn’t mean I don’t have feelings. Just because I don’t speak up doesn’t mean I don’t have anything to say. Just because I don’t react doesn’t mean I don’t know how to tear you apart. Just because I smile doesn’t mean you can walk on me. Just because I don’t hurt you back doesn’t mean I lack masculinity. Just because you say I am fat doesn’t make me ugly. Not uglier than your soul. Just because you say I’m feminine doesn’t make my gender redundant. I’m more a man than you’ll ever be, choking on your insecurities. Getting kicks out of putting other people down, everytime you feel threatened by the vastness of the world. Just because I don’t stop you doesn’t mean you can go back to doing what you did. Just because I am me. And not the version of me, You want me to be. Just because I am me. And just because I don’t roar doesn’t mean I’m not strong. I’m more than capable of ripping you to shreds, with my weaponry of words. Just because.
