Doesn't Mean

Just because it’s a comedy, doesn’t mean it has to be vulgar
I’m not a model, but that doesn’t make me ugly
Just because the medicine tastes bad, doesn’t mean it won’t heal you
Just because the car is used, doesn’t mean it won’t run good
Just because I’m younger than you, doesn’t mean I don’t have wisdom
Just because it’s expensive, doesn’t mean the quality’s better
Just because I have less experience,
Doesn’t mean I don’t have the potential to get more
Just because I’m weak now, doesn’t mean I won’t be strong later
Just because the company’s legitimate, doesn’t mean it’s not a scam
Just because the movie is sex-free, doesn’t mean it’s not watchable
I got to church a lot, but that doesn’t make me Jesus
I have knowledge, but that doesn’t make me a genius
I’ve made F’s, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t make A’s
I have issues, but that doesn’t mean I can’t and won’t change
I have trials and tribulations,
But that doesn’t mean I’m the only one going through
I don’t have friends, but that doesn’t make me lonely
Just because I ask questions, doesn’t mean I’m stupid
I don’t have it all, but I’m certainly not without
I’m not wealthy, but that doesn’t mean I’m not blessed
Just because I have, doesn’t mean I’ll let you use me
I’m not an ATM
And as my aunt said
If I have and don’t give,
That doesn’t necessarily make me stingy
That just means I didn’t share my story
On how I got my glory

------- Author's Notes -------

These thoughts just came to me and I had to write them down before my mind drew a blank.

Just Because...

Just because I didn't write this, doesn't mean I don't feel the same....

Per your comment I gather this one just sort of wrote itself... Sometimes those are the best ones..
I really like this one..
