More Than An Addict

My struggle with addiction.

More Than An Addict

I am more than just an addict.
Open your eyes and you'll see
Much more than the laws I've broken.
I am more than the drug that tries to conquere me.
Somewhere in here I am still me.
Look at what lies deep within.
Past my well created chamelon.
I am more than this addict you see.
I am more than a drug.
I am a daughter, a mother, a friend and a lover.
A christian, a writer and quiet the survivor.
Open your minds and see.
I am more than an addict.
More than a statistic,
more than a drug.
Somewhere inside here...
I am still me.
And I am loved.

yes, we are always more than our flaws...and the speaker here is so much more...she is a survivor...people do see statistics and the negative side of people because they are way too judgmental.
But as long as we are loved...to hell with what others want to say to demean.

I don't see an addicted woman
I see you as a great writer that know how to describe your pain
