Shake the Dust

This is for the friend who's always there for you when you need them the most.
The stuggling student trying to balance school and friends
for the varsity basketball player who shattered their shoulder right before the big game
For the dreamer who reaches for the stars only to be pulled down agian.
This is for the boy putting on a smile only to hold back the tears.
the sisters who try to help their older brothers see how important they are when they cant see it in themselves.
This is for those elementary days when the thing that mattered wasnt where you came from but if you could do the monkey bars.
For all of the unspoken hellos when its just too hard,
Shake the dust there's always something to reach for.
This is for the angry, the happy, the ones scared to show their true emotion.
This is for the ones who keep going and they dont know why.
So shake the dust
Shake it and Shake it, then shake it some more
Shake it to worlds without end,
Till your arms get tired,
Shake it that hard because sometimes it feels better,
because sometimes when you dont know what else to do,
it just feels good to shake the dust and let it go.
