Point of View

You see a junkie, I see Low self-esteem. You see a problem, I see someone Swimming against the stream. You see a coke fiend, I see Pain and fear. You see a criminal, 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's 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 willing 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. Turbo1904
