Come out

Come Out 

I see you there pressed against the edge of your own becoming

A dreamer with wings you’ve never trusted enough to open

Your potential glows beneath the surface, bright as dawn

But you sit indoors, staring at windows like they are destinations instead of doors

You tell me you’re waiting for the right time, for the fear to leave

 For certainty to shake your hand and say

Now you may begin

But destinies don’t wait

They call. They ache

They pace behind your heart, begging to be made real

I want to scream that your life is meant for more than survival and routine

 More than repeating days that feel like reruns of dreams you abandoned

You are not meant to watch the world

You are meant to shape it.

The cage your doubt built

Is only as strong as the lies you continue to believe

Look again, those bars were always painted

That window was always open

 That fear was always a phantom

Your purpose is pounding at the door

 And your heart already holds the key

So, come out before your potential grows weary 

Of waiting on someone who refuses to believe

 They are deserving of flight

So, come out

And see the world that has been rooting for you all along

So, come out, my friend

 And take your place

 In the story you were born to lead.

Sincerely,

Suree
