A PAGE FROM MY LATE NIGHT JOURNAL
Forced to Fly: A poem by Heather Stout
did you know when we talked last night?
remember how i flat out asked?
but you just hid scared behind your mask
guess fear isnt as deep in you as your preach
honestly thought it would be more of a reach
you took my biggest trigger and then took a hammer to my foundation
but you forgot i can build my own wings
my dreams, my power, my ambitions
worked so hard to get here
im proud to stand tall on my mountain
i will not be held down by insecurities that arent mine to hold near
funny how when put to the test
you cowered over just like the rest
for a bit you tried to support me
but it was the way you wanted
not the way i needed
not the way i pleaded
you warned me about your quirks
hey i used to think they were cute
but as things went on
your childish ways caused me to put you on mute
my dreams, my power, my ambitions
worked so hard to get here
im proud to stand tall on my mountain
i will not be held down by insecurities that arent mine to hold near
but you forgot i can build my own wings
my platform now stands in the sky
unreachable by those who are just passing by
they gotta earn it, gotta sweat a bit
its a damn party, its gonna be lit
my dreams, my power, my ambitions
worked so hard to get here
im proud to stand tall on my mountain
i will not be held down by insecurities that arent mine to hold near
you forgot i can build my own wings
made with the strength in my veins
nowhere is unreachable
you thought you ground me but you forced me to fly
my platform now stands in the sky
Thank you for reading my late night thoughts from my journal. Stay tuned to see what page I’m tearing out next.
My name is Heather Stout, welcome to my little digital home! I live and work in sunny Austin, Texas with my three large, goofy pups. I love hosting, decorating, and creating lasting memories with the people who matter most to me. Most days when I'm not crafting or designing, you can find me hiking with my pups, catching up on my favorite shows, or commanding my kitchen dance floor. I've also been known to craft some scrumptious, spur-of-the-moment cocktails!
