What I Know(Diabetic’s thoughts)

By MwsR

It just takes one bite

And my sugar stays high all night.

One can of a regular coke

And feeling tired afterward is no joke.

Wanting to overeat

But knowing inside it will make my blood sugars peak.

At birthday parties passing up on the cake,

Because you hate that “sugar high” headache.

Feeling tired all day long

The food you ate and what kind was all wrong.

Wanting to get in shape

Exercising only with enough calorie intake.

Going out on the town to a favorite food place

Catching the frown you’re given from your loved one’s face.

Being told “You know that is wrong to do”,

But ask them, “And just who the heck are you?”

It’s not thought about

Never easy without a doubt.

Diabetes is a complication and disease

But doesn’t have to bring you to your knees.

Take control, take back your life.

Make it count regardless of any strife.

How can I loath something so much, yet be appreciative of it?

You came into my life like a thief in the night.

Robbed me of hope, trying to blind my sight.

I asked, “Why me?” a million times

Yet, no-one had an answer for me.

I was trapped in this reality.

Healthy eating is my best chance

To combat the damage

To give myself a fighting stance.

You have taught me so much

Yet made me sad and mad and all the rest of emotions

I feel like a prisoner. locked up on this “locomotion”

No pardon, no reprieve

Where is the great cure that will come rescue me?

You have affected me in so many ways

Took my surefootedness and left me

Without anything to grab onto, you see,

Medication is for me like breathing is to live

I wish I could give it away like a gift.

No-one should deal with you

No-one needs you in their life

Rather been cut by the sharpest knife

At least I would be free,

Free of this diabolical disease

My burden to bear, my diabetes.
