Just Because

Location

 

Just because I’m a cheerleader

Doesn’t mean I’m dumb

Doesn’t mean I carry out my words at the end

And doesn’t mean I gossip about who, what, how, and when.

Just because I’m a cheerleader

Doesn’t mean I can’t play basketball

Doesn’t mean I can’t play any other sport at all

And doesn’t mean I can do back flips off the wall.

Just because I’m a cheerleader

Doesn’t mean I’m girly

Doesn’t mean I can’t watch both ESPN and Oxygen

And doesn’t mean that I try to get with every basketball player in the gym.

 

Just because I’m a cheerleader

Why are you so interested in what I’m doing?

What’s wrong with me wanting to wear Jordans and Nike slides instead of heels and flats?

Ever head of an all around athlete?

No? Well guess what? You just met me.
