Direct Orders

This is a direct order. You heard me.  A direct order to rock out.

Rock out like the sun is on fire.
Rock out like your goldfish is drowning.

Rock out like you're alone in a car wash, with your favorite song turned up so loud that the water droplets on your windshield are shaking.
Rock out until your lungs start aching,

Like your heart isn't breaking.

Rock out like you tripped over a cliff but someone just caught you.
Rock out like that outcast is not you.
Rock out like some troubled teen just shot you 
 but who has time for words when your minutes are slipping away down the drain?

Rock out like you're at a dance and a circle of people just opened up and you are the best dancer in this school.
Rock out like your friends think it's cool.
Rock out like Chuck Norris just gave you a high five.

Rock out like you actually want to.  Rock out just because you can.  

Rock out like you are in the Target room at the Rockefeller Center and you don't care how many strangers are around! (you seriously rock if you know what I'm talking about)

I Love this whole thing! You are a phenomenal writer. I think my favorite line is Rock out like you're alone in a car wash, with your favorite song turned up so loud that the water droplets on your windshield are shaking. That is awesome, because it relates to teenagers especially... I know I have done that more than once... you are great! Keep up the great writing :)
