"I’m Pretty in My Own Way”
Theresa McMillan
I’m pretty in my own way
That’s what I want to persuade!
I know I have eccentric behavior
Please look on it in good favor
It may take me time
To understand the world’s rhyme
I may live in a slower pace
And don’t rush in such haste
I’m pretty in my own way
Don’t want to live in false in society
And lose all my identity
Please cherish my unique outlook on life
My views may seem simple and small
But all I care about is tearing down walls
So what if I look and act like I’m from another planet?
Don‘t you understand I have a soul, “Damn it!”
I can be incredibly sunny
And awfully funny
I’m also a deep thinker about life
And sad about how people can create so much strife
Why people are so afraid of a kind touch?
It is what the world needs of so much
I’m pretty in my own way
Maybe people will notice someday
They just have to look differently in their heart
That’s when all the misconceptions will fall apart!
