I'm thinking of creating something of an album of...
I’d put it on iTunes and Spotify and Amazon mp3 and all of that, theoretically.
so that leaves me with two questions:
is there enough interest in something like that to make it worth it for me to do?
and
2. what poems would you most want to hear?

onasearchforhappiness asked: Hey, so I came across your blog, and I love this. Your writing is incredibly inspirational. I love your detail and use of poetry; it's all simply beautiful and breath taking. I could read your work for hours. Just thought you should know... <3
everydaygay:
For years, if you’d hand me a string while I was talking, I’d look down to see that my fingers had crafted a noose just their size, and I spent long enough on the dark side to forget that light existed… believe me, I’ve been there. I know what it feels like when you see a cliff and the first thing you think is “jump,” when you want to look yourself in the eye but every mirror shows...
everydaygay:
I guess I can’t say why I get so sentimental in the middle of the night, like the stars drip romance and the glint of the moonlight on my windowsill is a glimpse of the future we’ll conquer. No matter what, my windowsill is too far away from yours, and I’d like to be the dreamcatcher on your wall because you couldn’t fathom how beautiful your raw mind is to me and if I could hold on...
everydaygay:
You know I’ve said you were a writer. You don’t always know what to say, and sometimes you trip over your words, but the language of your fingertips tracing my lips is more holy than anything that could ever come out of my pen, and I want to be trapped in your fish bowl heart as long as I can hold my breath, and I can’t tell you how long it will be quite exactly but I can tell you...

Infinity [Spoken Word Poem]
When I was in kindergarten, my teacher was plump and smelled like honey and she gave me spelling tests during naptime because I already knew how to read and I could have probably done the spelling in my sleep anyways, but she saw a seed where public education saw a class-size limit and they didn’t give her any extra water but she gave me what she could anyways. She asked me my favorite number and...

four letter words
everydaygay:
love is a four letter word and so is pain, and so is hate and so is gone, fear, done and over.
but so is hope and here and this and toys, hold, arms, lips, find and give and so is peep and you cannot hold a fucking marshmallow peep in your hand and try to tell me there are anything less than miracles in a world that can create such simple beauty and the shit tastes good, too

emotionallyslutty replied to your post: not all of your work is great. some is, but most is mediocre. i dont want you to think you are better than you are. some people are moved, obviously, so good.
I want what that anon is on because one HAS to be pretty fucked up to think that. You are PHENOMENAL and CREATIVE and SO FUCKIN INSPIRING and you DESERVE to feel too good about yourself!
thank you...

To The Bitch Who Stole My Girlfriend
To the bitch who stole my girlfriend: Fuck you. Seriously though, I am writing you your own poem, not because you’ve earned it, but because karma is a little too slow for my taste. Emily, right? Can I call you Emily? I remember the first time she talked about you, said you were cool, hesitated to show me your picture though, tripped over herself to say “she’s nice… but not...

Imprint Tattoo [Spoken Word Poem]
Why are you incapable of leaving without leaving me some piece of you? I keep them all, or I memorize them so that I don’t have to lose them when I give them back. Your actions, your words from the past, they tell me don’t even think about looking back. They tell me there will be a girl who knows what she has when she has me, and I’ll find her and that will set me free. I am so ready to believe...

Don't Ever Stop [Spoken Word Poem]
When people compliment my work, they always say, “don’t ever stop writing,” and always, I look at them and think, “if only you knew.” If you knew how close to drowning it feels to keep my head above the rise of my words, how many different ways I’ve tried not to write her eyes, how close I’ve been a million times to losing my fucking mind wishing I could do anything but write. If you’ve ever been...
everydaygay:
I’ve always wanted to be the kind of pressure that gently presses lines into your skin while you’re asleep, so that you wake up reminded that you’ve been alive all along. I never wanted to be the kind of pressure that builds into swelling into pain into eruption. I never wanted to explode. The pressure of the lies I’ve lived is enough to cripple, but instead I sleep soundly and...

when life gives you lemons
everydaygay:
when life gives you lemons, why are you bitching about it? lemons are delicious and also beautiful because if you look close enough at them they have tiny pores, like your own skin. they are the color of sunflowers and receive half as much regard. even if you don’t like to eat lemons, you could play catch with your little brother or break them open and watch them dry because dying...

Thrift Stores
chooseloveoverfear:
I like thrift stores, because they smell like somebody else’s grandmother. I collect them, pay them weekly visits, walk around slowly just to soak up all the old things. It strikes me that every thing that will ever remind me of father is old now. He is gone, and he’s been gone from me for so long that the moments we shared are archived only by the dusty shelves of a thrift...

I’ve gotten very tired without ever meaning to and my eyelids are reluctant like I have taught them to be
I get very irritated when I hear the morning birds and have to remember that my time to rest has passed and then I remember you and how you would have heard the birds before the morning because little things are beautiful to you

Maybe I’m just missing the piece in my brain that would know how to translate you. I can detail every inch, transcribe you from memory into perfect form, but the words are wrong. thinking you is like hearing light you’re the only thing I don’t know how to write.

In The Event of My Untimely Death
Last night, I pulled a piece of white paper out of my notebook, held it like an alcoholic holds a drink, like depression holds a heart, like I never wanted to hold anything. In black pen I wrote the words “In The Event of My Untimely Death.” I made a list of all the things I would want to happen. I… don’t know why I did that. I used to believe that life would come to me...

This is the first poem I ever wrote.

Advice
When the real world is gone, and all that’s left is lies, will you best just like the rest or will you hide your eyes?
When there’s nothing left to do, and nowhere else to go, when the world comes to an end, just how much will you know?
It’s like a wise man once told never listen to your head if you follow what your heart says you’ll be saying...
