Please don’t be afraid of me

I want to be your friend

And if you get to know me

Your rigid thought might bend

You see, some say I’m special

I guess this much is true,

But if you were to ask me

I’d say you’re special too

We’re all a little different

No two are the same,

It’s something wonderful

That way there is no blame

My life has many obstacles

Much more than you could know,

But that’s not what I dwell on

I’m me, that’s all.

Please don’t be afraid of me

I want you just to see,

How truly great and wonderful

A friend like me can be.
