I'm Charlotte Fong, a 12-year-old girl. I'm a bookworm and can never go without a book beside me. I love writing, I write stories and blog a lot, but I just love to express my feelings in words and write about whatever ticks me off. Like all other teenagers, I also have a love for music. My favorite band is OneRepublic.

New season, new start –
New broken knee
O maker of heavens, trees and grass;
why consign my heart
to this beautiful game –
yet callously tear it apart?
Should I have known that
this would hurt
more than a thousand thorns
pricking my bare flesh?
Then I’d rather you brainwash me –
shred away all my memories.
