POINT OF VIEW

turbo1904

  You see a junkie, I see

Low self-esteem.

  You see a problem, I see someone

Swimming against the stream.

 

  You see a cocaine fiend, 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 someone

Whose problems 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

A person reaching for the sky.

 

  You see a dope-fiend, I see

A new soul.

  You see a creature, I see the

Way out of the hole.

 

  You see a lost person,

I see their heart.

  You see the end,

I see a new start.
