The silhouette of you turned, the melody of your name,

I wish you countless flowers and romance.

Symbol and disintegration before the dream,

Two souls do not meet by chance.

When the whole world falls asleep,

I tend to sneak in alone late at night.

Sometimes because of diving too deep,

I almost touch the moon, but the sky turns bright.

Time shifts between the fingers of my hands,

But never find the button to replay.

Torn into pieces and drifting to the forgotten land,

Like a secret poem that flies away.

Escape on Sunset Boulevard,

My rose is above one of the unknown stars.

Hello, this is Yang Yuxuan. I am a junior high school student studying in the US, currently in Virginia. I usually read some books, like photography and writing short stories. This is more like a personal experience, hope you like it!

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
