Your words

lifted me up from the doubt that was burning inside me.

Ripping apart all I knew and loved about myself until I questioned everything and everyone who got too close to me.

But then you looked me in the eye and told me to wake up because not everyone was against me.

So it’s time to walk tall, and if I have to pretend, everyone is for me.
