15 Minutes

Woke in the night, I couldn't breathe
Horrible thoughts that just wouldn't leave

Is it worth being upset by mistrust?
Other people will do what they must
I can't force them to strive to be just
Lives fuelled by dreams of stardom and lust.

I love to see talent ahead of an age
An age when some are filled with ego and rage
An outlet found to escape from their cage
Got to move on and turn the next page.

If you are reading this just be who you are
Don't try to be somebody's idea of a star.

One name is all that you need
Just stick to expressing you in your feed
Don't bother trying to bring many accounts
It's not hard spotting what feeds to discount.

You have an opportunity
To be part of a loving community
Don't risk it in some childish game
Or the search for 15 minutes of fame.

@leelee101 it's more a grumpy old mans message to all the young'uns on here 😜 esp those that get tempted to play games etc .. If they channelled it correctly their achievements would be greater 👍

@MrsS think it's always going to be around to some degree.. I'm not sure about apps, but I know on my forum we can see every poster's ip address so it flags up when multiple accounts are created from one comp' then it's not hard to see which are genuine members of a family etc.. Or just someone playing..
