Shake the Dust

This is for the nerd who walks alone. This is for the girl who didn't get asked to homecoming. For the football player who never sees the field. Shake the dust. This is for the wimpy kid  who always get picked last. For the team who finishes in second place, while the first place team celebrates in front of their faces. This is for the old man walking alone because his sweetheart passed on, and the tradition they had is lost. For the the never loved. This is for the girl who waits up all night for that phone call, because he said he would call, but he never did. Shake the dust. This is for the rich, the poor. For the man who missed his kids soccer game because he had to take a conference call. This is for the Mom who doesn't feel like she raised her kids right because they run off and do drugs and drink while she sits up crying asking God, what did I do wrong? This is for the Jocks. For the Cheerleaders. For those who think they are better then others. Shake the dust. For the one kid at school no one knows because he's new, and no one will take time out of their day to say hi, come eat lunch with me. Shake the dust. This is for the people who don't think life is important. For those who live day to day, instead of moment to moment. For those who believe that the most important things in life are things. When really, they are people. Shake the dust.
*Shake the dust means to forget about every negative thing in life. When life is being rough and tough, and you just want to give up, you think of the brighter side. There are better days to come. New people to meet, new places to see. Shake the dust means Enjoy the Moment. Enjoy the air you breath because you don't know if it is your last breath. Smile. There is never a reason why we shouldn't  smile. Shake the dust and enjoy life.

  1. I think this is way good! A+ for awesomeness. Almost depressing though. But that is why it is so good.
