Hurry! Grab your guitar and hit the stage, they're all waiting for you. They want to hear you sing. Do not disappoint them, don't keep them waiting forever. Get out there and Rock that stage... Shake It Off!
Take your seat with the others at the back of the truck as you guys hit the dusty road down to the beach. To feel the wet sticky sand under your feet on the seashore and dip your hands into the rushing waves as the breeze and salty water sprinkle on your face. Isn't that what you enjoy doing? Isn't that what you've wanted a long time ago? Dive right into it and...... Shake It Off!
What's taking you so long, your favorite song is playing, and the beauty of it is that, it's your favorite Singer and it's a live performance! Are you going to let this glorious moment passed you by? You've waited for this all your life, now what's taking you so long? Put on your best shoes and take a little bit of this and a little bit of that, because all you need would be right there. As you hit the room, don't let anything to hold you back, steal the show and..... Shake It Off!
Shake It Off is a peom I wrote and this was inspired by me seeing the best in me and others. Many times in our lives we tend to put off the things that makes us happy because of the hurts we've been through in the past. The truama that we faced, and the many masks we put on to hide ourselves from our goals and the potential we carry within us.
But somewhere deep down in our hearts we know it's all there, only if we stop allowing this fear to stop crushing us, then we will only realized that it's time to Shake It Off. What is some things we've been putting off for a long time in our lives since we experienced a tragic trauma? Is it writing the book you were inspired to write? Is it taking the classes to obtain that knowledge to pursue with your goals? Is it volunteering at your favorite place to help the voiceless and less fortunate children around? Is it moving to a new place? Is it trying out new things? Is it standing up for yourself? Is it being the better version of yourself? Is it confronting the people who did you wrong in the past? Is it speaking out the truth? Is it leaving that job you are having sleepless nights over due to how you're treated at it?
Whatever it is that have held you back so long, that you've been putting off, today and like every day, I've come by to encourage you that you can do it, just Shake It Off and you'll realized how much you've been holding back. You'll see yourself do great things even beyond your wildest dreams and imagination. You'll see them all unfolding before your very eyes, because you know what, it have always been there, all you needed to have done is to just to Shake It Off. I'm doing the same thing too, I'm shaking everything off that have held me back, and even by writing this here tells you all that it takes a lot to do this. But yeah we all got to Shake It Off and see as we change our lives, the lives of others, and the world.
