@poetrylpls©️. I own all word to this poem ADMIRE ME Admire from a distance always I surround you Mesmerising you can get lost in time, always here afar or near Passers by come and go by land, by air or by sea. I am here but yet people fail to notice me Stop for once just look around. Fighting through life's troubles and strife, trying to create that perfect master piece you unknowingly destroy many parts of me. Mountains from afar, small tiny ripples across the calm sea The strongest winds, the coolest breeze swaying through the greenest leaves. The stars that twinkle in the darkest sky. Why oh why do just pass by. Stop for once just stop. Look and see Admire me. I am the greatest creation. Stop looking around and see. (This poem has been shortened from my original piece)
