“I won’t feel sorry for myself”
By Kathleen Armstrong
9 Pricks a day,
Insulin dripping from a tube,
Thoughts of the future,
Haunting my mind,
But, I won’t feel sorry for myself,
You can handle it with diet,
They say,
You will be fine don’t worry,
They suggest,
But, I won’t feel sorry for myself,
I will tell you,
Over and over again,
Why I can’t do the things,
That you so effortlessly do,
But, I won’t feel sorry for myself,
Every Meal,
Decides my fate,
Constant fear,
Constant Regret,
But no, I won’t feel sorry for myself,
You abuse your body,
Take it for granted,
Then expect me,
To mirror your actions,
Don’t worry, I won’t feel sorry for myself,
Do it like me,
For even a day,
Eat your future,
Chew on your blood sugars,
Drink that insulin,
