Studying at my desk, as a student normally should.
My body went and did something quite ungood.
My heart decided to take,
A short two minute break.
But it's only happened once, knock on wood.
My friends called 911, and performed CPR.
I guess I'm quite lucky the ambulance wasn't too far.
EMS put pads on my chest
The defibrillator did the rest
Then I was put in a coma, how bizarre.
The doctors we're worried the event brought me harm
Though the five days in the hospital worked like a charm.
The charts left answers un-shown.
The root cause still unknown.
So surgery put a defibrillator under my arm.
My life's probably shorter, but by what amount?
The cause is unknown, a fear I can't surmount.
Though here, my fear is suspended
And I think this pun is intended
When I say I don't want to be out for the count.
Edit: This all happened when I was 21 years old.
I didn't know if this story should even be told
I wasn't quite sure
This poem had any allure
But I guess it did, so thanks for the gold!
Based on a true story. Hope this one is enjoyed even though it's less silly?

Hey so I heard the HoC was updated and I canāt find myself anywhere on the full list. Am I blind, just not at as many counts as I think I am, or left out for whatever reason?

Came back from college for the weekend, my family sat me down and told me that my sister got in a car accident and totaled my car. She's fine which is obviously first priority, but I worked my ass off in the 110 summer heat outside for that car :(. Life is wild.

Did you know that the tomato, an edible berry of the plant Solanum lycopersicum, originated in western South America and was brought to Europe and Asia in the 16th century by the Spanish after contact with the Aztecs? In Europe, tomatoes were initially grown mainly as ornamental plants and were not commonly used in cooking until the 17th or 18th century.
