Everything changed that day
The day that diabetes came into my life
I was terrified but calm
There wasn’t a way out
The day that diabetes came into my life
I was taught to stick needles into my body
There wasn’t a way out
And there still isn’t
I was taught to stick needles into my body
It’s old hat for me now
Because there still isn’t a way out
I don’t just survive; I thrive
It’s old hat for me now
I have made my prison a home
I don’t just survive; I thrive
I am living proof of “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”
I have made my prison a home
It is not a prison now
I am living proof of “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”
Diabetes has not defeated me
It is not a prison now
I have accepted it and I can control it
Diabetes has not defeated me
And it never will
I have accepted it and I can control it
Diabetes does not define me
And it never will
Everything changed that day
