I Don't Ask For Much

The world can be an ugly place,

It is full of people who discriminate,

The world can be a pretty place,

There are some people who care,

I don't ask for much,

I have friends and family,

People who care for me,

People who love me,

I don't ask for much,

I just ask that you treat me,

How you would treat yourself,

Just be kind,

I don't ask for much,

I just want a chance to show you,

Who I am,

My interests and my dreams,

I don't ask for much,

Just get to know my personality,

You may think I'm different,

But we are all people.

The world can be dark,

Full of people who deceive,

The world can be bright,

Full of acceptance and happiness,

I never ask for much,

We meet so many people,

Meeting you may just be,

A fraction of my life,

I never ask for much,

We don't have to be friends,

Maybe just acquaintances,

I just don't want to be enemies,

I never ask for much,

Do not judge me by the language I speak,

Do not judge me by my looks,

By the people I love,

I never ask for much,

I just ask for peacefulness,

Except my language, my style,

The girls and guys I fall for.

The world can be cruel,

Judgement around every corner,

The world can be compassionate,

Consideration floating through the air,

I don't want much,

Just some kindness towards everyone,

No intolerance is all I need,

You'd be surprised how nice it would be,

I don't want much,

Let me chose what I want,

Let me live my life,

The way I choose,

I don't want much,

I don't judge you,

I let you live your dreams,

I respect who you choose to be,

I don't want much,

All I ask of you,

Is that you let me be exactly who I am,

Accept me for me.
