ShAkE tHe DuSt

This is for the construction workers,
for the fat girls,
Shake the dust and be who you are because everybody else is already taken.
This is for the retired football star
and for the broken hearted
This is for the corner and the girl who sits in it whose ONLY proof of existance is her name on the roll.
This is for the lonely hallways filled with lonely people how are constantly surrounded by others but are still considered "loners"
Shake the dust. Look rejection in the face and laugh because you're not afraid of it.
This is for the betrayed mother
This is for the children who watched their mother be betrayed by their own father and don't know which side they're on.
This is for the abandoned puppy
and for the star that no one has ever wished apon.
This one's for you.
Every person who has ever doubted you, every english assignment that has stared at you with arrogent eyes assuming you can't do it, every person who was there, hurt you, and now is gone, is going to feel ashamed when you shake the dust becasue once you do your true self will be revealed.
And they won't know how they didn't see it before.
