Some people find my accent charming Others find it very alarming They think it’s unusual At times some would even say it’s brutal Certain comments are upsetting And really unsettling I won’t let this go I refuse to lay low Criticizing others for the way they speak Seems to me pretty weak We all come from a different place Can’t we try to embrace? The accents we’ve acquired Should be admired They make us all unique Isn’t that something we should seek? I’m pleased with who I’ve become And it’s all thanks to where I’ve come from Many things are important to me My accent is one most definitely I’ll forever stay true to my roots There is absolutely no excuse No matter what form of the languages I may speak One thing's for sure, open-mindedness will always be the attitude I preach
