We're all stories in the end, just make it a good one, eh?

[CharlieTruant @CharlieTruant]

You're letting boys fondle you sweaty in your backseat and I just want anyone to write about me the way all my blank pages scream about you.

[CharlieTruant @CharlieTruant]

5 lines with a childish rhyme scheme. Fun and worth a giggle to your friends under your breath.

[CharlieTruant @CharlieTruant]

Always was more poem than person, I apologize for giving the impression I was something worth reading when I'm a barely a limerick.

[CharlieTruant @CharlieTruant]

I'm not sure how to explain that every single time I've felt love it's been chased with knuckles and sometimes when you're gentle I mistake it for something else because to me love is only ever bruised

[CharlieTruant @CharlieTruant]

It's still cold in Alaska..

[CharlieTruant @CharlieTruant]

Only know it's love between the sheets.

[CharlieTruant @CharlieTruant]

Only know I've got feelings when they're rolling down my cheeks. Only know I've got a heart when it's broken in two. Only know I've got a mind when it's set on you.

[CharlieTruant @CharlieTruant]

Only know it's home when I can remember the streets.

[CharlieTruant @CharlieTruant]

All this ever was and will be was a test to see the strength of words and if words could save us we wouldn't have craved the silence

[CharlieTruant @CharlieTruant]

There is nothing pretty about the sadness.

[CharlieTruant @CharlieTruant]

When it's over, can I still come over?

[CharlieTruant @CharlieTruant]

Wish I was a little bit taller. Wish I was a baller. Wish I had a therapist so I could call her.

[CharlieTruant @CharlieTruant]

The thing about staying alive becoming something you do because you're suppose to do it is that the things that most people are easily able to force themselves to do because you have to become impossible to do

[CharlieTruant @CharlieTruant]

Oil slick stains in the rain only look half as pretty as you

[CharlieTruant @CharlieTruant]

Most nights I don't remember much at all. I'd say those are the better ones but it's lonely without the ghosts and the arms of people that love me

[CharlieTruant @CharlieTruant]

I work nights because I haven't slept right since I was a kid and sometimes in the quiet of the night under the buzz of the gas station lights I remember a time when dreams came easy and I weep for a Charlie that never got a chance to live.

[Dr. Hunter S. Thompson @GonzoVice]

We are living in very strange times, and they are likely to get a lot stranger before we bottom out.

[CharlieTruant @CharlieTruant]

Some moments you think you've got mental illness licked and the next you're sobbing to Katy Perry alone at Speedway in 1 in the morning

[CharlieTruant @CharlieTruant]

Never stopped being a monster since you named me one and now I call closets and the space under the stairs home and when you call my name I can't hear it through the gnashing of teeth and tongue

[CharlieTruant @CharlieTruant]

(ALL I WANTED WAS YOUUUUUUUAAAGGHHHH)

[CharlieTruant @CharlieTruant]

all I'm trying to do is write something that makes you feel the way my guts do when Hayley Williams screams before the bridge
