I have been in competitions unbeknownst to me
knowing...they don't compare to me
noticing...they want to be me
sensing...they want to have me
seeing...they couldn't be me
laughing...they can't have me
look act speak...like me
stick to your destiny...learning who you are
my destiny took strength resilience courage
most of them don't have endurance to handle
any of the hardships they cause for me
I always walked in my purpose
now I'm just powering up!

optimistic gremmie hits the beach with her new board
eager to take on magnificent crests, showing off her stuff
her knowledge minimal, but her courage impressive
an aggro gives her a few tips, then goes along his way
aggro gets caught in the backwash, and rides the aerial
gremmie watches, enthralled, entranced, amazed.
she bails a few times, wondering if she will live or die.
She’s got it, he thinks happily, the heart of a surfer.

Fake admirers of John Keats are spotted,
To check out if their luck goes as plotted,
Accepted the challenge,
They were so brave,
But they turned out to be kindergarten kids, so naive,
How come a person claims to be Keats' admirer?
If he hasn't faced the pain and is not a survivor,
Whoever hasn't read John Keats' letters,
Should be tied with a long chain of fetters.
The philosophers in this group drowned and dead,
They'd found a purpose in Lela, or their beloved,
When asked a question about Keats, they fell to the ground,
Some were bold enough to answer; the rest made no sound.
Written in response to questions asked to John Keat's admirers.

Five fine artistes combine The Outrageous
With love messages ‘Courageous’,
Their offered songs a triple grand
For an innumerable-like-sand:
For their slumping admirers catchers on hand:
Blokes who had the youthful band
Glowingly judged Firebrand
And to their hairs hit to every strand,
Everyone of them happy to stand…
Really, Youngsters who could about thrash
And it wasn’t just for The Cash
Between Singing Vince and Drumming Nash…
But Alas! by Mr. President reduced,
Who had from The Gloss some loss deduced
“Please these kids are to go back to school
And to-Double Please!-Stick to every rule”.
There really had been lots of “Wanna Wanna”
And a Galore of “Gonna Gonna”.

The world shrank
Into clusters of words
Into remote silence
Into piles of bulky pages
All stood neatly and politely on selves
Waiting and serving their admirers
Suddenly the internet broke in one day
And conquered them
But they remained silence
Still hoping for their old friends
To drop in one day

During the night, in a lake of dismay,
A boat of lights crawls with may
To engulf a person with hope and will
Sealing them to make sure they are still,
Tunes of greeting broke free
As they danced by the light's spree
With wide smiles upon their faces
No tennis player could ever ace
Thoughts of that person played in someone's mind
Remembering the moments spent with that friend;
The times they ran together
Racing the wind and became light as a feather
The times the sun shone on their faces
As they hiked mountains and climbed trees
The time laughs filled their spirits
Where the air was filled with humors
No one is left alone without thoughts
For they are always in the minds of their secret admirers
