POINT OF VIEW


  You see a junkie,

I see low self-esteem.

  You see a problem,

I see a person Swimming against the stream.

 

  You see a coke head,

I see pain and fear.

  You see an inmate,

I see a bum-steer.

 

  You see an alcoholic,

I see social-anxiety.

  You see a loser,

I see future sobriety.

 

  You see an addict,

I see someone's child.

  You see a disgrace,

I see a person whose problems have compiled.

 

  You see a prostitute,

I see someone caught in addiction.

  You see a jail bird,

I see their conviction.

 

  You see a self-centered person,

I see the disease.

  You see death,

I see someone ill at ease.

 

  You see a pill head,

I see someone in pain.

  You see no hope,

I see someone caught in the rain.

 

  You see a lost cause,

I see a willingness to change.

  You see someone evil,

I see the exchange.

 

  You see denial,

I see someone willing to try.

  You see them in hell,

I see them reaching for the sky.

 

  You see a dope-fiend,

I see a new soul.

  You see a creature,

I see a way out of the hole.

 

  You see a person lost,

I see their heart.

  You see the end,

I see a new start.
