Growing up in a house with eighteen other kids, is not ideal. The oldest of us being 25 and still living at home, cue the rolling of eyes. The youngest one being 2, and yes the terrible twos are a reality. What about me, you ask? Well I'm right smack dab in the middle at 13 years old. Most days I'm not even acknowledged and I just skate my way through life. Since I can get away with mostly everyth...

She’s standing at the corner of the 5th avenue. In her hands is a Spanish guitar which she plays while she sings she most beautiful songs. For eight months she’s been here every day, except for Sundays, because those are her days off. She wants to become famous, that people from all over the world will recognize her. She dreams about going on tours and playing big concerts. And one day she actuall...

My last TikTok only got 30,000,000,000 likes. That’s not enough; views are dropping. I’m not famous like Ted Bundy or Jojo Siwa. I’m only making just under eight billion dollars a day. Okay, you’re probably confused.

Because I am famous.

Just not actually famous. I’m fake famous.

Here’s how TikTok works. You get likes and views, and the more of those you get, the more you get because you have a...

Infamous

Not famous

Took the wrong path

It didn’t last

15 minutes of fame

The unending game

Always the same

No one to blame...

Jonas looked at himself in the mirror, his trinkets strung around the top rim like collectibles from a life at sea. In some ways, he left that way: he just got back from tour, multiple countries, and new items to add to his mirror. Around the glass lay his makeup: lipsticks, blushes, eyeshadows. They made him into the character the world knew him as: Glam. He smudged some of his makeup off and lau...

“Phoenix! Phoenix! Phoenix!” the crowd cheers as I stare into the bright lights on my left and right. “And for my next song, I will sing a melody I created when I was only 10 years old. It goes a little/something like this…” I say as a guitar riff begins in the background. “Every morning spent like this… I get some coffee, but just a sip… Because… I can’t have anything taking my mind off you… I ca...

“You’re late!” Karen barked.

“I’m here,” Sally answered hurriedly tying a black apron over her waitstaff black and whites.

With a practiced hand she lifted a tray of spicy tuna tartar appetizers. Cheek and jowl, Gallery 57 was packed. Trent the bartender gave Sally a weary nod. Outside of journalists no one hit an open bar more than artsy types. Sally wondered what all the fuss was about this ...

(Btw this isnt prompt)

I wont pick up the phone

No, I will let it ring

I will stay alone,

And wont end up a broken thing

I wont give up and go running to your arms

No, i will stay right here

For once I will listen to the red flags and alarms

For once I am sincere

I wont want you anymore

No, I will forget that you exist

I will sink into galore

When I stop thinking of that kiss

I wont wonder wh...

I just got wanted to me known. That was all.

I wanted to walk through a hall and have people smile at me and then whisper to my friends how amazing I was.

I wanted to smile at guys and suddenly have five requests to go to the dance.

I would have done everything.

Instead I did everything. And I regret it.

I learned that fame will only make you miserable.

And that most boys are doches....

I wave a hand frantically at my screaming audience as I walk out from the premiere of my newest film; wearing a large grin on my face, flexing my pearly whites and striking red dress - of course matching the carpet below my heels. The turbulence of the night sky blows in my dark hair, causing strands of it to move in majestic harmony.. I was on the red carpet just like I’d dreamed ever since I’ve ...
