"Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change."

 -Wayne W. Dryer

What do you see when you look at me?

Do you see what I see?

Maybe you don't look far enough deep,

take a step back and breathe.

What do you see when you look at me?

Do you see an escape?

One permanent, the other for a moment's sake.

Do you see the hurt, yet the strength gained?

Do you see the scars hidden, the pain?

What do you see when you look at me?

Do you see the power and muscle?

Or do you see the numbness masked away?

Take a step back and breath.

Look closer and to what could be,

the strongest battle ever won.

 The beauty of a thousand words in a picture.
