I'm not really a poet. I've only ever really written poetry in the classroom when I've had to teach what is arguably my least favourite topic to teach. But for some strange reason, I just wrote the following. It doesn't rhyme, and is probably nonsense, but i wrote it anyway. I wrote it just because.
Just because I am strong, that doesn't mean you should try and break me.
Just because I am smart, that doesn't mean you should try and make me look like an idiot.
Just because I am well travelled, that isn't your cue to plan a trip to Mars.
Just because I like to wear nice clothes, doesn't mean I'm rich.
Just because I've made the decisions I've made in life, you shouldn't focus on the bad ones.
Just because I might have loved more than you have, you shouldn't try and crush me.
Just because I have a kidney disease, you should not dismiss me as a non event.
Just because I require dialysis three times a week, doesn't mean that I don't have a life.
Just because I have slowed down a little, doesn't mean that I have stopped living.
I am who I am and that is the best that I can be.

Mr Pink - Most of my favorite poems don't rhyme. I like it. Just because it tells me some things about you I didn't know before I read it, and just because it speaks to my heart as well as my mind.

Just because I don't understand doesn't mean I don't care.

Just because you never wrote poetry, doesn't mean this doesn't touch my heart. Beautiful!!! :clap;
