Im a poetic diabetic.
I rhyme, and forget to take my insulin on time.
I write, if my blood sugars allright.
i let the words flow, unless im having a low.
I paraphrase a bunch, and i inject at lunch.
Pain.
Everyday, every hour.
Neddles, Insulin, Blood.
This is my life.
My immune system rushes in to crush me.
Im dying.
All I can think bout is the babies.
The ones who know my pain.
10 years with Type 1 diabetes
Over 14,000 pokes since day 1
It doesn't get me down, it only makes me flawless.
I take my poker,
Press it to my finger,
Push the button,
See the blood,
Put a drop on the test strip,
See the levels,
Get my insulin,
Fill the syringe,
Stab my leg,
Eat my food,
I take forever Looking in the mirror.Connected to a machineThat acts as my pancreas.Never truely naked.
