Just because....

Just because I refuse to play victim,

Don't cast me as a vamp.

Just because I am not shedding tears,
Don't think smiling has been easy.

Just because I didn't hold on,
Don't think letting go was a cakewalk.

Just because I didn't break down,
Don't assume I am made of stone.

Just because I don't share my feelings,
Don't whisper I am heartless.

Just because I am surviving it all,
Don't say it was my choice.
