It may have seemed like nothing to you 

I’m not sure 

But you later told me what you said is true

Your words were fresh air, the prescription I’ve been desperately needing 

They sparked a fire for new life 

They got me once again believing 

In that old vision I had from 2018 

Remember I wrote it down? 

Since that time I’ve met a lot of people who are mean

It’s somewhere in the file cabinet now 

But I remember it 

Sometime in the last 7 years it got muddled 

Your words undid the trouble 

You said I’m tough 

Like Sarah Connor (my childhood role model)

And you said I’m good 

I was a deflated balloon, a shattered bottled

You puffed me up, swept me up 

With some encouragement 

I hope you know what it meant 

To hear that I am enough
