Diabetes, Not Defeat!

As I sit here drinking my coffee as I often do

I find myself thinking of you.

Hard to imagine my life before you came

Since you’ve been here my whole life has changed.

You came like a Lion ready to devour its prey

All I could do was just pray that day.

We have since been closer than almost any other thing.

It’s like we are wed without the wedding ring.

I can’t say I haven’t thought of just leaving you

But I thought by now there’d be a scientific break through.

When I am out and about on the town

You are there right beside me, and I frown.

If I exercise you have to be there making sure that I feel your prescence

Wish sometimes you’d be absent!

To feel what I once felt

To not worry about stretching my belt,

These things have become prominent to me

I wish for the day you would leave me.

If you left I probably would cry

But hey, that would be me saying goodbye.

Tears of joy people would say

That would be a phenominal day!

For now though it’s like a bad twin

You tell me how…I make the when,

I choose to acknowledge you

To understand and fight too.

Diabetes you rule but I tell you how

And without me you have no power now.

Sink or swim is the saying for this disease

Just don’t say “Defeated”, if you please.
