Just because "daddy" ain't in my life don't mean I'll commit a felony

Just because I am a Filipina don't mean I want to be a registered nurse

Just because my arms and thighs don't fit in society's eyes don't mean I'm unhealthy

Just because I have veins "seeping" through my skin don't mean I am a senior citizen

Just because I am loud and wild don't mean I am from the cave-man age

Just because I have been raised in a strict Catholic household don't mean I am a saint

Just because I own luxurious items don't mean I am spoiled

Just because I was born and raised in America don't mean I am rude

Just because I don't talk back to those who hurt me don't mean I am weak

Just because....

Just because.....

Just because I am Monica, don't give you a damn right to JUDGE me.
