Now here is my poem:
I am the new heartbeat of Australia,
My adrenalin flows through its mountains and hills,
My burning sun crusts up my red deserts
My rhythmic waves crash upon the sandy shores
My cool breeze brings hope to the homeless.
I am the roar of Singapore
My gigantic skyscrapers touch the radiant sky,
The glimmering ocean surrounds my country.
I am the ‘Merlion’ guarding my home
I am the fish feeding my nation.
My heart is split in two
One half heart for both my countries
Both hold my soul
So I am never lost.
Different blood runs through my veins,
Collides and causes sudden jolts of movement.
A mix of two
a collage, a patchwork quilt
unified into a whole.
Australian and Singaporean
A new hope of strength and wit
Keeping strong but never forgetting my people.
