《成长与青春：在时光中寻找自己的方向》（英文）
The Road of Growth and Youth
In the quiet days of childhood,
I’d imagine being a child with keys to open doors.
Yet life would show me that
the path is not as grand as I’d thought.
When I stepped out into the world,
I wasn’t alone in my struggle.
My parents weren’t alone either;
they saw me through the harsh winter.
The first steps of middle school
were a tale of moments, but the truth was,
the journey wasn’t just a few miles long.
Each bump and each turn was a sign
that life would have its own road.
In high school, I’d see my friends move,
and they’d hide their secrets to keep my spirit light.
I thought it meant helping them with the world,
but in reality, it was just another task on my list.
And then came college:
the first big step of my life’s journey,
where I had to make choices and face fears.
The uncertainty was real, but so was the truth.
By the time I was an adult, I’d realized that
not everything matters in this world.
The most important thing was staying true
to myself.
In school, teachers would whisper secrets;
in work, my soul would carry a weight.
Yet even with all the obstacles and failures,
the truth is: I had the strength to find
my own path through hard times.
And yet, sometimes I’d look at things
and wonder why others couldn’t see it.
For in their eyes, I was a tiny dot,
and not quite where my parents’ house was.
In the end, I’ve learned that
the journey isn’t always easy, but it’s
a beautiful one.
With each step forward, I knew that
my life would change—not because of success or failure,
but because I’d chosen to stay young and full of questions.
“Your life is not just a number;
it’s a story with its own rhythm.”
The road ahead may seem endless, but
I’ve already proven that my path
is worth the wear and tear it will undergo.
So let me carry my spirit, my heart,
and know that my journey isn’t over yet.
With each moment, I’ll keep trying to
find where this fire of burning questions
beads into the bright day beyond.
As darkness sets in, I’ll remind myself
that every failure is a seed for growth.
And when the sun finally climbs higher,
I’ll see the world unfold in all its beauty.
