Hi,
My name is Jagdev Singh
As a child, one day in school. I was sitting in, house assembly. Whilst the teacher was reading our house a story After she had finished she told us all, the name of the main character - Siddarth Gautama - she then said to us all.
"Does anyone know another name for this man?" A silence swallowed the room. Me being a fool, raised my hand and answered,
"The Buddha." The teacher came before me, presented me with a grey cuddly rat rattle toy, with a pink tail then replied,
"your journey starts here,"...
... some time later I suffered a Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) (Stroke) in 2006
This is a poem written by me 8 years ago in 2012,
My name is Jagdev Singh
If I could, I would change everything.
It all started at Bellemoor School
When life became cruel
Bombs going off in my head
A feeling I remember and dread.
I was picked up by St John
And his paramedics didn’t turn the sirens on.
When I was eleven years and ten months, my life turned on its head
When I was eleven years and ten months, I lost my street cred
When I was eleven years and ten months, I had a brain injury
When I was eleven years and ten months, I gained a disability.
I could not walk
I could not talk
I could not eat
I could not drink
Fortunately though, I could still think
Six years down the line, I am recovering.
And even though I see life through a solar eclipse, I still have a vision.
My name is Jagdev Singh
And I am changing everything.
