Diabetes

I never know for sure

Diabetes

Small word

Four syllables

Life changing beyond belief

Doctors slap on the label

Over 23 million times

Then why do I feel so alone?

 

Diabetes

Small word

Four syllables

The tip of the Iceberg

Separation from others

I’m different now

The same outside, changed within

 

They say there’s

An emotional component

Even as I manage this condition

I still feel

Depressed

Overwhelmed

I no longer know me

 

Diabetes

Is at the core

But every time

I see a doctor

Something else

Has gone wrong

My body is failing

 

Small word

Four syllables

A powerful lesson

Acceptance comes hard

Embracing each day

My own mortality
