Just Because

A.M. Morgan
Just because it looks innocent doesn't mean its naïve

Just because it's hard to understand doesn't mean it's crazy

Just because it's out of reach doesn't mean it's not worth trying to

Just because you love it doesn't mean it will always be yours

Just because you can touch it doesn't mean it's beyond skin deep

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't lovely

Just because it's rough around the edges doesn't mean it isn't smooth inside

Just because something's single doesn't mean it always feels alone

Just because it's free doesn't mean it comes without a sacrifice

Just because it appears happy doesn't mean it doesn't struggle to enjoy life

Just because it is doesn't mean it's meant to be

To prejudge without knowing the truth is simply speculating
