When I wanted the help I put my hands into all the people

that were supposed to help me and not one

of them's let me down.

And I'm talking nurses, doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists,

the Vet Center, my case manager.

I believe they were all put in my life for a reason

and that reason was to help me.

And believe me, they did it.

But my case manager always says, "Yeah, but you did it too,"

because I don't like taking credit but,

you know, I'd listen to them.

I took what I was supposed to take, I didn't fight anything

and it's like I'm just a whole different person.

My family's seen that and friends they see how I act.

As a matter of fact a lot of people call me Mr. Patience

because I can just chill out and do nothing

and I feel good, you know.
