Treatment was scary but finally it wasn't scary no more

because I was able to tell another person certain things

in my life that I would never tell anybody,

not even my mother or father.

And they just like, they just embraced me and kept assuring me

that I was a good man and things are gonna get better,

you're gonna get better,

your mind's gonna get better and everything.

They haven't lied.

They haven't lied to me, no one's lied to me

and I'm thankful for that,

because my life today is, it's great.

It really is.

It's a gift.
