Lamp Shade.

It was late. So late that as we drove we saw no one in sight. 

Seemed like we were the only two people in the world.

We parked a block away so they wouldn't see us. 

I held onto him like this time would be the last.

And then it happened.

Bad Poetry

So here it goes..

Wishing you were something.
Doing nothing but clubbing.
Fake tans, Big boobies
Come on babe lets go to the movies.

Direct Orders

You have been given the direct orders to rock the frick out. 
Rock out like you just broke out of jail. Like you just got your first kiss in the pouring rain. Rock out like its the weekend and you don't have any homework. Like Fresh Prince of Belair is on tv. Like your favorite song just came on the radio. Rock out like your mom just made warm cookies, chocolate cake, brownies, lemon pie and you had all day to just pig out. Rock out like Bob Marley on weed . Like no matter what happens he always cares. Rock out like there's no tomorrow...Like there's no other way..Like you just got payed. Rock out till the world decides to rock out with you!

Shake The Dust

This is for the broken hearts still beating.
This is for the lonely and confused still wishing upon a shooting star.
For those still holding onto the past.
Shake the Dust.
This is for the homeless man pushing a shopping cart down the highway.
This is for the drug dealers.
For those many mistakes.
Shake the Dust.
This is for the insecure ones who hid from the world.
This is for the girls 16 and pregnant,
having to raise her child alone.
This is for the fat girl who just joined weight watchers.
Shake the Dust.
This is for the tired and the dreamers
Dreaming dreams that will never happen
Because everytime they wake up in the morning
and see their reflection there's nothing but defeat.
That's right-- Shake the Dust!
This is for all the teachers that told me I'd never amount to nothing. 
To all the people who have lost a loved one
Even after 10 years, 5 months and 2 days,
Still mourn every single day
Still knows there no way.
Still waiting although it is so far away.
This is for the hopeless
This is for me.
This is for you.

Shake the Dust!
Because your running out of time. Time doesn't wait,
not for you, not for me. Not for anyone!
The dust is collecting..
building up more and more every single day you make
that decision. The decision to not to shake the dust.
Go ahead sit back, let life control you.
Or brush it off. Move on. Forgive and forget.
Shake it! Shake the dust so hard that the whole
universe quivers because now everyone knows nothing
can stop you!

I'm Thinking About You.

I'm thinking about you like Seattle thinks about rain. Like a railroad thinks about a train. Like a Chinese think about chow-mien. I'm thinking about you like sidewalks think about chalk. Like Michael Jackson thinks about the moonwalk. Like a Leprechaun thinks about a shamrock. I'm thinking about you like music thinks about lyrics. Like keys think about paddlocks. Like dudes think about chicks. Like Superman thinks about sidekicks.
I'm thinking about you like guns think about bullets. Like McDonalds thinks about nuggets. Like vegetables think about carrots. I'm thinking about you like everyday. I'm thinking about you in every single way. I'm thinking about you and I'm not afraid to say.

Love Is..

10. Love is a friendship set on fire.
9. Love is like war; easy to begin but hard to end.
8. Love is the ability of seeing an imperfect person perfectly.
7. Love is playing hide-in-seek in the dark.
6. Love is a word, a word that frees us all of the weight
    & pain of life.
5. Love is a piggy bank.
4. Love is a shooting star.
3. Love is indescribable. But oh so desirable! 
2. Love is a seedless watermelon
1. Love is when your best friend gives you a feeling no one
else possible can. Maybe that's why best friends fall in love

Introduction

Sally Burton.. to be honest there's nothing really special about my pen name.
I was talking with my older sister & asked her what my name should be.
Sally Burton it was. So if it wasn't for her I'd probably have some ridiculous
name like..Loyd Christmas. or even worse Billy Bob Joe. Yup. 

Well I took this class so I wouldn't have to take English and end up with
a satan teacher like Ms. Gardner. Gives me chills to even say her name. 
Hopefully Ill get a lot out of this class.
