Doubleshot Expresso
Another member who just joined, so I guess introductions are in order.
I turned eighteen in january this year. I live in Singapore, that little red dot on the map.
Currently facing some important examinations, known as the A-levels, at the end of the year.
I suffer from insomia and other such stress-related stuff, so I'm on a truckload of medicine.
So... erm, yeah there are times whereby I'll be logged on in a drugged state.
But anyway, I'm really excited at joining this community, make more friends, the works.
Holler on my journal is gladly welcomed.
Would like to just end this entry with a little poem I wrote recently.
Actually, not even a poem. More like free verse.
Critism is welcomed, but... soften the blows, would ya. Coat the bitter pill with sugar, that sorta thing.
But more importantly I would like to know what you guys think of the subject. Thankee.

The next time you're in front of the mirror.
Take a good look of yourself.
From the top of your head.
To your every little toe.
Ignore your physical imperfections.
The very fact that you are here,
Whole and alive and breathing.
Means you're a miracle.
Just a short month ago.
There was a baby, 35 weeks old.
Three more weeks to full term,
When it can take it's first breath of life.
But the baby never got her chance.
She never made it out alive.
Didn't get to see her loving parents.
Passed away before she even lived.
And something worse awaited her mother.
Who had to go through 20 hours of labour.
Just so that she could give birth.
To a baby she knew was already no more.
Now just try to imagine you you were that mother.
How would it change your outlook, on Love and Death?
In this mass of pain and lost,
What will you say to your God?
It doesn't matter how advanced medicine is now.
Or how experienced are our doctors.
A pregnancy is still an act of nature.
We humans cannot guarantee it's success.
All of us doesn't realise this fact.
We are miracles, each and every one of us.
So look at yourself in the mirror.
Say it out loud, and remember.
"I am a Miracle "
