Look At Me

Look at Me

He is just one of the many, a lonely man
Striving to become whatever he can
All I am is not what you choose to see
If you seek a friend then look at me

The old man sits on the corner all alone 
A next meal from where it comes unknown 
You look away, disgusted by what you see
All he asks, don’t just walk by, look at me

The drug addict lost within a world, forsaken 
Coursing through his blood all the drugs taken
Don’t take pity on me, go, just leave me be
Who are you to judge me, don’t look at me

Remember, be grateful when your life is good
And try to help those as much as you should 
Because life doesn’t come with any guarantee 
You maybe the one that asks, just look at me
