Shake The Dust Already! Goodness.

This is for the nighttime cereal eaters
This is for those who DIDN'T make it in the show.
This is for those who feel alone in a crowded school hallway.
Shake the Dust.
This is for the girls who haven't quite figured out hair and make-up.
For the girls and guys with popular older siblings
For the girls with the drug-addict brothers.
Shake the Dust.
This is for the girls whose little sisters have style figured out, and she can't even put a jacket with a stupid shirt.
This is for those who pour their souls out into a notebook that'll never be read.
This is for the shy little children whose goals in life become not getting in trouble, and not making their parents disappointed.
Shake the dust.
This is for those who sleep alone, but dream of something different.
For those who live in an empty room
And those who are still alone even when they leave that empty room.
Shake the dust.
This is for those who cry themselves to sleep at night
because nobody gave them
a chance to speak their mind.
Shake the dust.
Shake it hard.
Shake it till it's ragged and torn
because quite honestly,
that gives it character.
It makes it unique.
It makes it something
beautiful
and worth looking at
worth studying
to see every detail.
Shake the dust
make it new
heck, why not show it off?
After all that dust is gone
it's gotta be something worth flaunting.

Nothing is more beautiful than after it's been cleaned.


^ (This whole list pertains to me... I selfishly thought of myself haha... Here's a few that I thought of that aren't me...):

This is for those who are numb.
Tired.
Hurt.
Angry.
Shake the dust.
This is for those with perfect posture, stuck in stiff, ironed clothes.
This is for those who stand next to the best singer in the choir.
This is for those who are lack-tose intolerant.
Shake the dust.
This is for those who walk the streets with nothing to live for.
This is for those whose dreams did NOT come true
Shake the dust.

  1. I can relate to the younger sister having style figured out when I don't. I quite enjoy your posts, you are an incredible writer! Keep it up! Don't give up on your writing because people are reading it, you just have to get it out there. You can do it!
