“That’s It. I’ve got it!”

February 14, 2026

I finally got that idea

I finally got the spark

I finally got something to stir

At a moment when I had energy and time

I finally got those lyrics

I finally got that song

I finally got that idea for a book

I finally got what my characters are going to say to each other

I finally got what I need to be famous

And it’s the words on this paper

The words that I have written

That was the idea

I finally got something that is going to make me famous.

I’m never going to give up on that dream
