in a perks of being a wallflower mood. here are quotes from it. i advice you to read it. not everyone has a sob story, charlie, and
even if they do, it's no excuse ...and in that moment, i swear, we were infinite. i walked over to the hill whee we used to go and sled. there were a lot of little kids there. i watched them flying. doing jumps and having races. and i thought that all those little kids are going to grow up someday. and all of those little kids are going to do the things that we do. and they will all kiss someone someday. but for now, sledding is enough. i think it would be great if sledding were always enough, but it isn't. every else is either asleep or having sex.
i've been watching cable television and eating jello everything can't be self-esteem, can it? i just need to know that someone out there listens and understands
and doesn't try to sleep with people, even if they could have
i need to know that these people exist things change. and friends leave. and life doesn't stop for anybody. i would die for you. but i won't live for you. she was sad, though.
but it was a hopeful kind of sad.
the kind of sad that just takes time. please, believe that things are good with me,
and even when they'renot,
they will be soon enough sam and patrick looked at me. and i looked at them.
and i think they knew. nothing anything specific really.
they just knew. and i think that's all you can ever ask from a friend. here's a poem from it: once on a yellow piece of paper with green lines
he wrote a poem
and he called it "chops"
because that was the name of his dog
and that's what it was all about
and his teacher gave him an A
and a gold star
and his mother hung it on the kitchen door
and read it to his aunts
that was the year that father tracy
took all the kids to the zoo
and he let them sing on the bus
and his little sister was born
with tiny toenails and no hair
and his mother and father kissed a lot
and the girl around the corner sent him a
valentine signed with a rows of x's
and he had to ask his father was the x's meant
and his father always tucked him in bed at night
and was always there to do it once on a piece of white paper with blue lines
he wrote a poem
and he called it "autumn"
because that was the name of the season
and that's what it was all about
and his teacher gave him an A
and asked him to write more clearly
and his mother never hung it on the kitchen door
because of its new paint
and the kids told hi,
that father tracy smoked cigars
and left butts on the pews
and sometimes they would burn holes
that was the year his sister got glasses
with thick lenses and black frames
and the girl around the corner laughed
when he asked her to go see santa claus
and the kids told him why
his mother and father kissed a lot
and his father never tucked him in bed at night
and his father got mad
when he cried for him to do it once on a paper torn from his notebook
he wrote a poem
and he called it "innocence: a question"
because that was the question about his girl
and that's what it was all about
and his professor gave him an A
and a strange steady look
and his mother never hung it on the kitchen door
because he never showed her
that was the year that father tracy died
and how he forgot the end
of the apostle's creed went
and he caught his sister making out on the back porch
and his mother and father never kissed
or even talked
and the girl around the corner
wore too much make uo
that made him cough when he kissed her
but he kissed her anyways
because that was the thing to do
and at three a.m. he tucked himself into bed
his father snoring soundly that's why on the back of a brown paper bag
he tried another poem
and he called it "absolutely nothing"
because that's what it was really all about
and he gave himself an A
and a slash on each damned wrist
and he hung it on the bathroom door
because this time he didn't think
he could reach the kitchen credits:
