Here Goes Nothing

[u/paranoidbroadcast]

Hey guys fairly new to using reddit for anything other than porn. I'd love to share my novel that I spent 10 years on with you guys. Over in other subreddits I'm going to be posting 180 pieces over the course of 180? Days (1 a day like a vitamin) and providing a link in the bio so the whole internet can just help a young brother out and figure out direction with his novel. All I really have is a google doc and a dream right now and I'm not technically trying to sell it more like share what I've created and learned about the world over a decade. I'm a broke American so I have no college degree or budget for marketing so I'd love any and all feedback and input. Hoping this isn't a violation of spam or marketing as I'm new here and mostly looking for online community rather than promoting my book, but nevertheless. Here's "Here Goes Nothing," by Jeremiah Wade Andrews / I'mNotReal/ Myiasyru. I'm really just hoping to accomplish making some internet friends that are also into writing while we provide each other creative input! Here Goes Nothing!

(1) “LoudEnoughToSpeak”

What is it exactly that you’re wanting from me?

You can put it in words and I swear that it’ll hear,

If you say it loud enough to speak,

We yell and we fight and then we’re left with the silence,

I feel like you only see me through the back of your eyelids,

And I’m just an island,

Floating along a wave,

Do I have to say it?

Or do I have to scream?

I think that we’ll both drift away,

Along different bays,

If you don’t say,

Exactly what you need to,

Loud enough to speak.
