    I wish more would take the time...
    I wish it was esier, no posible, to get the help that helps...
    I wish it wasn't needed to fight to get help...
    I wish I wasn't greeted with disbelive and suspicion...
    I wish I wasn't told to get my act together...


    Thank you... you made my eyes tear...
